Unveiled to our Understanding

Celebrating that wonderful day on December 28, 1973, when I called upon the name of the Lord for salvation, received Him as my Lord and Savior, was born into the family of God by His grace, and was thereby made fit for heaven forever! Hallelujah!

"God... hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.... Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus... cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers... that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to usward who believe" (Ephesians 1:1,15-19).

All of the spiritual blessings above
In heavenly places with infinite worth,
Are now freely given to us through the love
Of Jesus our Savior and Lord by new birth.

I pray that the Lord will enlighten your eyes,
To see now the hope of His calling this hour,
His riches in us whom His grace sanctifies,
And what is the greatness of His saving power!

So now may our God be pleased to unveil
The cup of His blessings that flow past the brim,
Assured that His fullness of grace cannot fail
In the hope, in the riches, and power in Him!
