Title: Song Suggestions for Invocation
Post by: ilovetosingforgod on March 07, 2011, 08:08:29 PM: Hi Everyone,
Could you tell me Songs that you guys are singing during Invocation?
Currently we are singing "We offer Christ to You"
But I am looking for a different song.

Also
What are some songs that you sing during offering?

Look forward to seeing your response....

Thanks ;D

This is usually a prayer at the beginning of the service which invites or "invokes" the presence of the Lord/the Holy Spirit in the midst of the gathered congregation. The song that you listed "We Offer Christ to You" seems best suited for "invitation".

"There's nothing better than knowing Jesus,
He will pick you up and turn your life around.
You oughta know him, get to know him,
Right now, today, just come.

There's nothing better than knowing Jesus,
He gets sweeter as the day goes by.
You oughta know him, get to know him,
Right now, today, just come."

Tj.

1. Why Not Come to Christ (O'Landa Draper & The Assoc)

Why not come to Christ?
Why not make a great sacrifice?
You've been wondering down in your mind
Is this really the right time
Yes, it is!
Why not come to Christ?

He's waiting on you
Whatcha gonna do?

2. He's Here

I see the Lord in this place
Somebody's life's about to change
He's released healing in this place
And He's here to wipe your tears away
I see the Lord in this place
You don't have to leave the way you came
Just open your heart
He'll mend your wounds
And take the pain away

Oh it is Jesus walking down the aisle to supply
All of your needs
It's Jesus stretching out His arms
The Comforter's here cast your cares on Him

You don't have to leave the way you came
He's here in our midst...

How can you refuse?
Your Father's calling you to a better life with Him
How can you refuse?
Your Father's at the door waiting for you to come in
And He is standing there with outstretched hands
To embrace you as His own
How can you refuse?
Your Father wants you to come home!
How can you refuse?
Your Father wants you to come home!

(Then transition right into)
Oh, oh come home!
Come home!
He wants you to come home, come home, come home....

(You can skip the lead and the bridge)
