"Thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto Himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth" (Deuteronomy 7:6). "Promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the Judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another" (Psalm 75:6,7). "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21).
Above all people on the earth
There is no higher plain
Than life in Christ for all its worth,
Then death for all its gain.
What a privilege is ours
Who have it thus both ways!
Heaven waits beyond the stars,
And Christ fills all our days!
What a Savior! What salvation
He has thus bestowed,
That raised us to this elevation,
Paying what we owed!
It's okay to show emotion,
To weep or shout for joy:
God has purchased our promotion,
Which no one can destroy!
