Inspiring the world
One glorious day
In the land
Above the galaxies
We will see
Our precious savior
He will wipe away our tears
And crown us with
His Beauty
And joy
This life can be painful
This life can be difficult
But we are on a journey
To our glorious inheritance
In heaven
One glorious day
One sweet day
We will see our savior
And dance with Him
With rapturous ecstasy
And joy
Rejoice!
O’ precious ones
Rejoice!
For our home
Is beyond
The sky!
Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: (Philippians 4:11 NKJV)
I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. (Philippians 4:12 NKJV)
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13 NKJV)
Have we learnt the secret of being content in every state? Jesus did and Paul did. They were the most content, resilient, joyful individuals recorded in history. God anointed Jesus with the oil of joy. They had that rare gift of peace and contentment even in the midst of the harshest trials and persecution.
There is a journey for every Christian and within that journey are valleys and lows. There must be some dry periods before we eventually get to the mountain top and are crowned with glory and favor. If we do not defeat the pleasures and cravings of the flesh and the world, we will not overcome. In that battle, there will be trials that will test our tenacity and patient endurance. When faced with these, we must remain calm and content instead of being bitter and angry,
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; (Philippians 4:6 NKJV)
Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and long-suffering with joy; (Colossians 1:11 NKJV)
Christ is the one who strengthens us to be content in every state and circumstance. Without Him we can do nothing.
All we need to do is rely and depend on Christ and keep our focus on Him instead of on the flesh and the world. We also need to keep praying with peace, diligence, patience and perseverance. If we are content even as we run our race and fight to get to the mountain top, then we are truly soldiers and imitators of Christ.
I will fly with you
Into the glories above
To behold the golden clouds
And magnificent mountains
That adorn
Your glorious city.
I will fly with you
And pierce the heavens
To behold wonders untold
And love unspeakable.
I will fly with you
To behold your beauty
And your grace.
We will eat together
At the table of fellowship
And intimacy.
When the feast is over,
I will rest in you
And breathe in you.
Your fragrance will be
My garment,
And my face with shine
And sparkle.
Jesus, put your arms around me,
Let us fly together
Like we once did,
Into beauty beyond words.
We will run
We will fight
We will endure
Because
The greater one
Lives in us.
He lives in us
To guide us
To protect us
To teach us.
In our Christian race,
He is constantly
Enabling us
And empowering
Us to greater heights.
When we run
We do not
Lose hope
Or get weary
Because the king of glory
Is with us and within us.
We can do all things
Because the great redeemer
Lives in us.
We can do all things
By the power
Of His grace.
We can do all things
Because we do not
Depend on our own strength
But on the power
Of Christ.
We can do all things
Because grace
From the throne of grace
Is constantly available
To those who trust
In Him.
And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church (Ephesians 1:22 NKJV)
He will change our weak mortal bodies and make them like his own glorious body, using that power by which he is able to bring all things under his rule. Philippians 3:21)
Who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand–with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him. ( 1 Peter 3:22)
The Lord is Mighty
He rules supreme
Above every power
The waves
And winds
Obey Him
Death bows in
Awe of Him
Angels fall
Prostrate
Before Him
The Lord is mighty
Kings perish from
His rebuke
His breath destroys evil
Demons quake and
Quiver at His presence
The mountains melt
In fear of Him
And sicknesses flee
At His name
The Lord is mighty
He deserves all the praise
Honor, thanksgiving and adoration
May we never cease to praise Him
Because He is mighty.
I mused within me
If I had wings
I will soar away
Into the golden clouds
And rest my face
On His feet
If I had wings
I will fly over the mountains
And the seas
Believing that freedom
And flying
Are the same
Then I said to myself
I already have wings
In my soul
To overcome every obstacle
In life
I have wings
And I am free indeed
I said to myself
Fly, child of the king
Until you pierce the golden clouds
And rest in Him
You conquered all
In love and power
You defeated death and
Redeemed us
From the bondage of
Sin and death
I worship you
Because of your
Great mercy
