Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.Proverbs 16:19
God through Solomon
……………….
Part 1
a man of sorrows,
you came unto your own,
and your own received you not
Creator of Heaven and Earth,
your visage was marred beyond recognition by those you created
Love itself, knowing the end from the very beginning
You suffer the vessels of wrath
staking your life as a ransom for your peculiar children
Your sons and daughters you make kings,
we cast our crowns before your throne
Called because we are drawn
Hope, our expectation of things to come
My Lord and my Redeemer,
Here I stand doing all I can do to endure
Your words are sweeter than honey and the honeycomb
and your spirit comforts my weary soul
Joyfully, I despise the shame
Joyfully, I despise the persecution
………………
Part 2
With my own heart-eyes I saw man’s system
I stood in front of it beholding its corrupted simplicity
My sister knocked on the door
I opened at the right time and was warned
Then I remembered she was like an eagle
Watching out for my soul
Her strength and sight for a time and a place
I walked away from what I saw
and turned not to take one last look
She stayed behind to confront
Then I woke up and realized
how much I am loved..
how you keep me from strife
how you see me as I truly am
beyond the earthy eyes of man
And what of my sister?
Am I not her keeper, as well?
With your spirit
I turn back for her soul
facing all that which is and will soon be not
………………………
Part 3
The Lord be with me
though I fall seven times He raises me up
The Lord be with me
that I may stand with this love given to me
The Lord be with you
that you may see beyond the trappings of this life
The Lord be with you
that you may recognize what is important
The Lord be with us
He makes us conquering conquerors
His kingdom is even here
His little lights, a royal inheritance
called to shine hope and brightness into dreary darkness
