Receive a new body You say Be pulled out of This shell of clay? Never commit another sin Your perfection's glory Eternally to win?
Oh, how I desire to live in Such strengthened faith Allowed each day the details to trace Of God's smiling, most wonderful face Oh the joy to live among the angels wings Hearing crystal clear forever Their praises to you loudly ring Their ecstasy be allowed to capture Standing amidst their increasing rapture Loudly I sigh and deeply long To live within the beauty of Your Paradise’s glorious songs!
You had to reach down So very, very low Because At times life to us can deliver Such exceedingly cruel blows AH, But the joy at seeing your face Come to save(as always) I reach up for Your hands full of Your overflowing grace!
So hold your breath Get ready Christ remains always steady Dependable, ALMIGHTY Wait and you will see Your Refuge, our Rock Our Creator LORD He will enable all believers In Him once again to soar Above this world's chaos Pain, suffering and loss Even though it may come For you at a great cost
But you can rely upon HIM To eternally win Our Immortal souls, Us in His forever love to keep As in His Paradise We will all Dance joyfully In the Light-filled Glory At His Feet!!
Demon's danced in glee At the feet of the man Dying upon a bitter tree Storm clouds gathered Sun darkened Ground was shaken Rocks split, tombs opened Dead bodies walked, renewed Hoping to gain even a brief view As Christ breathed His last Or did He?
Because . . . A few days later Dear friends walked upon A garden's sod To perfume a dead man's body Instead . . . Were given a glimpse Of their risen God By His gentle voice Once more were they met As from a now empty tomb He had just stepped
They rejoiced, rejoiced Again were allowed To hear their dear Savior's voice Such joy in heaven Could not be contained For at even the slightest mention Of His Holy Royal Name All of His powerful angels shout HALLELUYAH! HALLELUYAH!
I will not listen I do not care So go ahead Spit your ugly words Out into this darkened air
I have a Holy Savior Jesus Christ is His Name You no longer Have the power To cause Him any pain
He now sits enthroned Above this swirling globe For you see All my sin With His royal blood He most joyfully atoned
Today it does not matter How much evil you Spew forth For as my tiny life Winds down Runs out its only course
I choose Christ On Him I set my sights He is the greatest Lover of my small soul Even though You may seek Upon me to take A deadly toll Against HIM You always lose!!
How do you Not want to pray Every single day Not have something To say To the One who made you
Don't you secretly hope Dream, desire, wish To see something higher Much better than this Ugly, mass of confusion The abuse?
Such great physical beauty All around us Literally trying to Pound into us The magnificence Of its Creator He uses all living things As His great theatre
So lean into His Spirit In Eternity will you live Never to regret it So pray now, Pray hard Empty out your heart For you It will create The beginning To your soul's Blessed, new & fresh start!
Gathering, A great darkness A world clothed in chaos Spinning to regress Going backwards Because It does spurn A Savior's love & suffering
A once bright nation Founded upon Its Christ's sacrifice Now once, twice, Perhaps even thrice Rejects His name More & more From its shore to shore Oh, return to us Please once more!
We can do better Help us to cling to Each word, Each letter Within Your precious book For we know It is within our hands Our choice To reject Or
To take our stand Upon Your words Realizing at last It is only Your strength Your power Lord Jesus That holds together Undergirds Everything
So, forgive us we pray May we never again stray So far away as we seem To have done in this Current time, this day
