Sunday Songs Series: Amazing Grace from 50 Countries

Thank you for praying! There is a special praise this week: another person has joined our TGP team! Let’s keep praying that the Lord will bring us a total of 100 people praying daily by March 20, 2026.

Revelation 5:9

And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,“

“Amazing Grace”… How should we introduce this song? We could mention statistics like the fact that it has been recorded on over 11,000 albums, and is likely the most popular Christian song of all time. We could mention its global appeal, from John Newton’s testimony that first penned it, to translations in a myriad of languages and dialects, all the way around the world and back to the United Kingdom’s Scottish bagpipers. We could talk about the joy its truth brings new believers, and the hope and comfort it whispers at funerals.

But if you know, you know… and the song really needs no other introduction. His grace is and always shall be amazing because He is amazing. And all God’s people said, “Amen.”

Listen to “Amazing Grace” from 50 Countries: https://youtu.be/BA7pdABvpnc?si=-GS1Rl1GrIP7a_JM

1. Pray for today to be the day of salvation for a person from each of the 50 countries represented in the linked song.
2. Pray for Christians from each of those 50 countries to be encouraged today by the fact that the same grace that has brought them through many dangers, toils, and snares will lead them all the way Home.
3. Pray for a person living in your town/city who has been resisting the convicting work of the Holy Spirit in relation to sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8-10). Pray for the second verse of Amazing Grace to become a reality in that person’s soul: it is God’s grace that teaches a heart to fear, and the same grace which relieves that fear.

Ezekiel 14:6

Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: Repent, turn away from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations.

1. TGP’s 4th Birthday: Pray for many people to join our prayer team this year, and praise God for bringing a new person this week!
2. W. Fordham Rd., between Grand Ave. & University Ave., NYC: One day, Jesus walked by a couple pairs of brothers who likely routinely sold their catches of fish at Capernaum’s fish market. When Jesus said, “Follow Me,” they obeyed. Pray for a worker at Arubia’s Fish Market to have the same response.
3. Your Choice: Please pray for a request you remember from the other locations featured this week:

University Ave., between W. 179th St. & W. Burnside Ave., NYC

Sunday Songs Series: “Cleanse Me”

Thank you for praying!

On March 20, 2021, TGP went live. From that day’s featured location of Cochabamba, Bolivia, to the current virtual prayer walk in New York City, thousands of prayers have been offered up to the Father for Jesus to be known to the peoples of the world. Thank you to each team member for joining us in this venture of eternal importance!

As we enter our 5th year of this daily prayer marathon, please pray for more people to join us. The long-term goal of TGP is to have 1,440 people praying for one minute a day, which would give us a total of 24 hours’ worth of prayer each day for the featured requests. There are currently 15-20 team members. Please pray that by the time we reach our 5th ministry birthday next March, there will be 100 people praying daily. Also, thank you to everyone reading this post who has been faithful to pray! Based on a Scriptural understanding of prayer, we believe that our prayers are making a difference in advancing God’s kingdom around the world.

But when He [Jesus] saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Matthew 9:36-38

1. Pray for there to be 100 TGP team members by March 20th, 2026.
2. Pray for the Lord to give you opportunities to have conversations explaining TGP with other believers who could join us.
3. Pray for the Lord to give / bless effective ideas for how to promote TGP. We want to increase in number to multiply the effects of prayer.

Thank you for celebrating today’s 4th birthday milestone with us!

Psalm 139:23-24

Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties;
and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Ezekiel 14:1-6 describes a situation where some leaders came to inquire of the Lord, but they had set up idols in their hearts. It was a travesty to pretend to seek God’s leadership when their hearts’ affections did not bend the knee to Him. God’s answer included the admonition for them to repent.

Unfortunately, this reality is occurring today in our country. Some people openly spurn God. Others give Him a token acknowledgment (whether for sentimental, superstitious, or pragmatic reasons), but their hearts belong to the things of this world. Even we as Christians can slip into similar habits from time to time.

Today’s hymn is a clarion call to be honest with God, to ask Him to show us what in our hearts needs to be changed. It is a prayer copied from David’s words in Psalm 139. The link below does not contain the fourth verse, but those lyrics are written out above today’s prayer requests. If we are ever to see true, widespread revival again in our nation, it must begin with repentance in the church, and then it will spread to regeneration of the lost.

Listen to “Cleanse Me”:

https://youtu.be/9Kuo3lg-LBU?si=xtxNQR_n2zyBpsFn

Fourth verse lyrics:

O Holy Ghost,
Revival comes from Thee;
Send a revival,
Start the work in me.
Thy Word declares
Thou wilt supply our need;
For blessings now,
O Lord, I humbly plead.

1. Pray for Christians to be honest with God today.
2. Pray that the lost who give a token acknowledgement to God will really see their need to genuinely believe the gospel.
3. Pray for revival and regeneration to sweep across our land.

Ezekiel 14:6

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New York City.

1. Since last time, we have crossed into the Bronx, our last borough of New York City. Pray for the Lord to use our prayers during the next couple of weeks to make an eternal difference in the lives of people living/working in this borough.
2. The shoe store above is Skechers, whose slogan is “Good for your feet. Good for the world.”  Scripture states that beautiful are the feet of those who bring the gospel, and the gospel is truly the best thing for the world. Pray for God to call many young men living in the Bronx to be preachers of His Word, and for them to be faithful to His call.
3. Over half of the Bronx’s population is Hispanic. Pray for a Hispanic family to trust Christ alone for salvation, that they may claim the promises contained in yesterday’s featured song, “Del Amor Divino.”

Revelation 4:11

Romans 8:38-39

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Because worship is a vital component of prayer, TGP started the Sunday Songs Series last week. God’s children have always brought adoration to Him through music, and this will continue throughout eternity. Since the focus of TGP’s prayers is for Jesus to be known through Biblical worldwide evangelization and discipleship, it is appropriate that some of our featured songs be from other languages. Such is the case today with the Spanish hymn “Del Amor Divino” (“Of Divine Love”).

I first heard “Del Amor Divino” in 2004 in Lima, Peru. It immediately became my favorite Spanish song, not only because of the song’s melody, but also because of the depth of truth in the lyrics, which are taken from the last several verses of Romans 8. The secure foundation of God’s love for a believer cannot be over emphasized. It provides the confidence to face anything that happens in life and death.

Listen to “Del Amor Divino”:

https://youtu.be/uyiNTulgfzA?si=zIK2w3SceiASQsjZ

Spanish lyrics and English translation:

1. Pray for Christians around the world to be encouraged today by the truth contained in “Del Amor Divino.”
2. Pray for lost people who are floundering through life without a solid foundation to trust Jesus, so that they, too, can know His love.
3. Pray for the top 100 enemies of Christianity to be led to repentance through the goodness of God (Rom. 2:4).

Revelation 4:11

Psalm 113:3

From the rising of the sun to its going down the LORD’s name is to be praised.

1. Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, NYC: Pray for the salvation of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
2. Harlem River Pathway, near the Teqball Table Location of Randall’s Island Park, NYC: Pray that many girls currently growing up in Harlem will have and take the opportunity to become women who love and trust God as Corrie ten Boom of Haarlem, Holland did.
3. Your Choice: Please pray for a request that you remember from the other locations featured this week:

2nd Ave. & E. 126th St., NYC

Robert F. Kennedy Bridge Trail, NYC

Sunday Songs Series: “Holy, Holy, Holy”

Thank you for praying!

Revelation 4:8

…And they do not rest day or night, saying: “Holy, holy holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”

This first Lord’s Day of March, TGP is excited to begin the Sunday Songs Series. For the next twelve Sunday posts, prayer requests will be drawn from a featured song of worship to Almighty God. A YouTube link to the song will be provided, and TGP team members are invited to follow the link to play the song. A suggested way to really let the song’s truths sink in is to start it playing and then close your eyes while listening, meditating on the words about our great God.

Our first song must of necessity reflect on the Lord’s arch attribute: absolute and perfect holiness. Isaiah 6 describes the unceasing three-fold declaration of God’s holiness that takes place before His throne. Almost 800 years later, John witnessed the same scene, and it continues even now.

Listen to “Holy, Holy, Holy”:

https://youtu.be/j5MEoJZo38M?si=f5-mFqW9PM-GM7ND

1. Pray that children of God around the world gathering to worship Him today will be reminded of His awesome holiness, and join in the eternal chorus of adoration to Him for it.
2. Pray for the Holy Spirit to have free reign in His convicting work in hearts of the lost as He shows them their need for right standing before a holy God, and for today to be the day of salvation for an individual from every people group in the world.
3. It has been said that, “Holiness is simply the reflection of the Master in the servant.”* Pray for Christians who have seen God’s holiness to yield to His transforming work in their lives.

Psalm 113:3

*”An Alphabet to Live By” (MBH)

2 Corinthians 12:9

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 

Although photos are not normally a feature of TGP’s Saturday Morning Recap, today is an opportunity to provide a bird’s eye view of our virtual prayer walk in New York City. The cross marks our current location and completed prayer walk distance. Starting at the green flag in Manhattan, we went south to Staten Island, then over to Brooklyn, and are currently in Queens. We will continue walking north to the Bronx, looping at the end to finish our course at the black and white completion flag. We have walked 46.29 miles, which is 65% of our total slated distance of 71.02 miles. With only a third of our journey to go, let us press on in prayer, with earnest pleas to our Father that Jesus would be known and loved by those for whom we pray.

Truly, each of us is part of another prayer walk as well. The site of yours may be Chattanooga, Athens, Suffolk, Minot, Parachute, Fowler, Cambridge, or Bennington. Wherever your feet walk through the day is an opportunity for prayer and the light of God to shine. Thank you for your faithfulness in both prayer walks. May the name of the Lord be forever praised through each of our lives.
