Song and a Sword

"Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand" (Psalm 149:5,6). "Take... the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Ephesians 6:17). "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword" (Hebrews 4:12). "Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: that Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should show light unto the people, and to the Gentiles" (Acts 26:22,23).

Sing of the things that the prophets have said!
Sing that our Savior is raised from the dead!
Sing it all day and at night on your bed!
Sing in the joy of the Lord!

Wield the two-edged sword of God's Word!
Share now the powerful truth you have heard!
Witness to hearts that the Spirit has stirred!
Advance with a song and a sword!
