Ceilidh

The Lord is our God

He has called us His own

At a place in our nation where beauty has grown

It’s time to reap what our prayers have sown

The wayward, they are coming home

We’ve tuned our guitars

We have rosined our bows

Our family has gathered before your throne

Wake up o sleeper, come to your feet

The righteous sing out turning darkness to dawn

Shout to the Lord you coastal shores

Make some noise you islands

A sound of praise and a song of joy

Rises up from eastern lands

Our country was formed from this fertile ground

The meeting of minds knew the Spirit’s sound saying

Lay a foundation no man can take down

A nation where Jesus is crowned

We’ve plowed in our fields

We have harvested trees

We’ve cast out our nets to the ocean’s breeze

Praying, “Spirit of God, blow across these seas.”

The nations are ours, they will fall at Your feet

And when they prayed He came/Lord hear our prayer

More Family Lyrics

Ceilidh (prounced "kay-lee" is the Gaelic word for "visit" i.e., A Kitchen Party).  A ceilidh is a party with singing and dancing and storytelling. It is the kind of party that ties a community together.

This song is in light rotation as a Radio Single in Whitehorse and Thunder Bay.

“I just received Stephanie’s CD this past week, and I am very excited about what she has released in this music. In May of 2004, we were so blessed to have Stephanie with us for our "Heart of a Servant Worship Gathering" here at Living Waters. She accompanied our worship team with her awesome giftings on the violin/fiddle, and shared her song "Ceilidh" with us...WOW! There was such a release of joy and excitement in the Lord’s presence as we celebrated together the beautiful expressions of music which unite us culturally here in Atlantic Canada, and we know that it’s a unique "sound" currently rising up among God’s people as a call to the unity of our faith and a call for revival, restoration, and harvest. I believe what is being released here in this music prophetically has been quickened by the Spirit of the Lord and this is the day...NOW is the time for leaders, worshippers and intercessors, and believers alike to walk together to see God’s corporate purposes released over our nation, region by region.  I highly recommend this CD to anyone who is hungry to see God’s kingdom purposes released in the arts, and to the Body of Christ in general. It is a real encouragement to me personally as a prophetic musician and worship leader to join with Stephanie and others who are embracing the timing of God for His music in us to be released! Congratulations, Stephanie, on a job done with excellence and true anointing!”  Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
