Who, with a Word, the battle wins? 

Behold the Lamb, the Lord of love

Who died to save us from our sins! 

 

The Lamb and Lord, the King of kings,

Shall overcome His foes in war

When He returns and with Him brings

The saints He saved forevermore.

He sees my steps and all my ways

And guides my feet upon His path

To live a life of grateful praise

For He has saved my soul from wrath.

We are His new-born generation!

 

The Lord has called us to be wise

By winning souls with godly fear,

For every living person dies

And judgment day is drawing near.

Without the strength of God’s salvation.

Let Christ be trusted and exalted,

Triumphant in each situation.

 

The Lord preserved us in the past,

And by His light He led the way,

So let us fear the Lord at last,

For He is faithful every day.

His Coming and His Commanding

The things that soon will pass away

(Like chariots that turn to dust),

It’s wise to fear the Lord today. 

 

The coming of the Lord draws near,

So let us walk with understanding. 

Let everyone with ears to hear

Obey what Jesus is commanding.

Right Way in the Revealed Word

Psalm 19:8,14 The statutes of the LORD are right… Let the words of my mouth… be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD.

Job 27:11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

In every single situation

The statutes of the Lord are right.

So therein let our meditation

And words be pleasing in His sight.

 

We speak the truth that God revealed

Which He commands us now to teach.

The words He gave are not concealed;

They are the Gospel that we preach.

Prophetic Plan

Psalm 18:1 ~ I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress… my high tower.

Proverbs 7:1 ~ My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

Job 26:13,14 ~ By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

Revelation 11:17 ~ We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

 

I love the Lord, and rightly so!

He is my Rock and my high Tower.

By His prophetic plan I know

His truth, His faithfulness, and power.

 

But who can understand His power

By which He garnished all creation?

Yet greater still, He planned the hour

That He would purchase our salvation!

His Wings and His Word

Psalm 17:8 ~ Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

Proverbs 6:20,22 ~ My son, keep thy father's commandment… When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

Job 25:4,6 ~ How then can man be justified with God?... A man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?

Revelation 10:11 ~ And he said… Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

I’m trusting Christ, the King of kings,

Who rescued me from condemnation.

I’m safely kept beneath His wings

And counseled by His conversation.

 

The Lord, by whom I’m justified,

Equips me to proclaim His Word

By showing what He prophesied,  

Just as He promised, has occurred.

Laughter turns to Lamentation

Read:  Psalm 16 / Proverbs 5 / Job 24 / Revelation 9

 

Psalm 16:4 ~ Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god.

Proverbs 5:7-9 ~ Hear me now therefore… lest thou give thine honor unto others, and thy years unto the cruel.

Job 24:25 ~ And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

Revelation 9:21 ~ Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

 

Their sorrows shall be multiplied

Who will not have the Savior rule.

How sadly this is verified

When years are given to the cruel.

 

If hearts surrender to the Lord, 

The Lord imparts to them salvation.

If God’s instruction is ignored,

Their laughter turns to lamentation.

Refines and Revives

Psalm 15:1,2 ~ LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

Proverbs 4:11 ~ I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

When with our Savior we abide,

We walk according to His way.

When on His pathway we are tried,

Our Lord refines us day by day.

 

Our prayers arise before His throne

As He inclines His ear to hear,

And in our trials He has shown

That He revives us and is near.

Laud the Lamb

Read:  Psalm 14 / Proverbs 3 / Job 22 / Revelation 7

 

Psalm 14:2,3 ~ The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Proverbs 3:34 ~ Surely, he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

Job 22:21 ~ Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

Revelation 7:9,10 ~ I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations… cried… Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

 

The Lord looked down from heaven’s throne

To see if any understood. 

He has concluded and made known

That all have sinned; not one is good. 

 

Though mockers, as foretold, will scorn

The warning of their condemnation,

The meek by grace shall be reborn

And laud the Lamb for their salvation.

That waited for us in the grave. 

 

We have cause for celebration! 

“Come, see the place,” as angels said,

Where He who died for our salvation

Is raised, as promised, from the dead!

Beauty of the Book

Read:  Psalm 12 / Proverbs 1 / Job 20 / Revelation 5

Behold the beauty of the Book

Preserved by God forevermore.

Upon the Savior we adore.

 

This Book in times of deep distress

Holds promises that cannot fail,

And therefore we find quietness,

Assured that Jesus shall prevail.

Trust and Tell

Read:  Psalm 11 / Proverbs 31 / Job 19 / Revelation 4

 

Psalm 11:1 ~ In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

Proverbs 31:8 ~ Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.

Job 19:25 ~ For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.

Revelation 4:1 ~ After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice… said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

 

In God alone I put my trust:

Why should I flee, then, as a bird?

I’m called to tell, and tell I must,

The Gospel truth that I have heard.

 

I know that my Redeemer lives

And that He’ll come again to reign.

I will redeem the time He gives

To make His Gospel message plain.
