Many will be familiar with the Irish rugby song ‘Ireland’s Call’. It was penned in 1995 as an anthem that would bring together every corner of the country without any political undertones. It’s a song that UNITES rugby fans across the whole of the Island of Ireland.
At the start of 2020 the following lyrics were penned for, and released at a specific prayer event in Fermanagh for Israel and Ireland.
Let’s declare them afresh UNITEDLY over Ireland.
(It may be helpful to have the music of the rugby song to accompany the words)
Come the day and come the hour
Come God’s power and His Glory
We have come to answer our country’s call
From the four proud provinces of Ireland
Come the wind and come the fire
Come repentance and revival
Let the sound of Heaven be heard by all
In the four proud provinces of Ireland
IRELAND IRELAND
DOWN ON OUR KNEES WE FALL
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER
WE’LL ANSWER IRELAND’S CALL
From the mighty Mount of Olives,
Flows the Covenantal Blessing
Touching every nation upon the earth
And the four proud provinces of Ireland
From the ancient wells of Ireland,
Life, renewal, restoration
Flowing out upon our thirsty land
In the four proud provinces of Ireland
IRELAND IRELAND
DOWN ON OUR KNEES WE FALL
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER
WE’LL ANSWER IRELAND’S CALL
Let the dry bones come together,
Standing like a mighty army
With our shields of faith and swords raised high
From the four proud provinces of Ireland
Hearts of love and lives surrendered
Glory only to King Jesus!
We will fight for freedom that comes from truth
In the four proud provinces of Ireland
IRELAND IRELAND
DOWN ON OUR KNEES WE FALL
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER
WE’LL ANSWER IRELAND’S CALL
Hear the sound and see the vision
Almond buds and clouds appearing
It is time for God’s word to be fulfilled
In the four proud provinces of Ireland
IRELAND IRELAND
DOWN ON OUR KNEES WE FALL
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER
WE’LL ANSWER IRELAND’S CALL
WE’LL ANSWER HEAVEN’S CALL !!
O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD! Jeremiah 22:29
Fear not, O Land ; Be glad and rejoice , for God is about to do great things! Joel 2:21
Lord do it again we humbly pray. May the declaration be made over this Island – JEHOVAH SHAMMAH – THE LORD IS THERE. May Your presence fill our land in a fresh way forming a canopy of peace, love, joy, righteousness and authentic praise. Lord restore the fear of the Lord among us all we pray. Let the ancient wells be unblocked, and the new ones uncapped for such a time as this.
Their faith fastened onto their promises and pulled them into reality. Hebrews 11:33 (TPT)
Let prayers of repentance and confession fill the atmosphere bringing times of refreshment from Your Presence. Let the gates swing open to welcome You – THE KING OF GLORY in. Shut tightly those gates that need to be closed and grant Divine wisdom to the gatekeepers. Lord rebuild the altars of prayer and praise in this nation that all may see that the Lord God reigns omnipotently and supremely. Let the fire of heaven fall. May our land once again release pioneers, evangelists, prophets, teachers and apostles to bring the Gospel to the four corners of the globe with Divine missional enthusiasm, passion, intensity, compassion and fresh anointing. Let the distinct sound of this land arise and be heard throughout the earth. Father bind Your people in Ireland together with chords of love and unity so that EVERY purpose of The Lord for this land can be fulfilled.
It’s time. It’s Ireland’s time!
We bow in fresh surrender to answer Heaven’s Call.
