See the cosmic warfare ragingFor the souls of everyone:Throughout mankind, the pulse of every mindExtolls the dragon or the Son. In the wilderness mere mannaTruth and righteousness sustain;There abides the loveliest of BridesAnticipating Jesus’ reign. From the foulest water-fountainUndiscerning masses drink;Let earth below absorb its septic flow;So dry bones wisely learn to think. Help us […]
Do you think that Jesus merely came to save your soul?Do you think He had in mind a part but not the whole?Do you think throughout creationJust a few from every nationConstitute the consummation of His goal?Do you think that Jesus came to save your Sunday praise?Do you not suppose He would redeem our works […]
Chorus: When leaders fearlessly lead, long-haired, in IsraelWhen people cheerfully yield themselves in war as wellThere is the Church at its best,Trembling of earth turns to restAnd Jesu, Jehovah, the Lord God of heaven is blessed! (men) Give ear O princes and kings of the nationsThe mountains resound with God’s praiseRainfall like fountains from Edom […]
Tune = Blowin’ in the Wind (Bob Dylan) How can a man in the days of his youthThink, talk and walk in his way –Mindful of Christ and the Scriptures of truth,Buoyant with integrity?Yes and what can be hoped for his conscience to sootheWhen evil has drawn him astray?The answer my friend is keeping God’s […]

A fierce man of war is […]
Tune = Somewhere over the Rainbow God’s great plan for the nations Near and far Is to render their kingdoms Under the Saviour’s care. Jesus’ hand is subduing Great and small; Earthly plans and all rulers Under His sway shall fall. One day we’ll look and see no more The crooked and deceitful Whore of […]
Jerusalem, sweet destination Beautified with heaven’s glory; We meditate upon your story – Away! We’re bound away Where the dusk is bright as day. Jerusalem, this earthly journey – For your gates our souls are yearning, All hearts and minds anticipating The Lamb upon His throne, Praised by every tribe and tongue. Jerusalem, your healing […]
Sanctimono, when will you come to your senses? Stop sitting on fences, appeasing the crowd; You are a scoundrel in mortal peril of treason Believing your reasoning Heaven’s court will allow. Do your eyes not yearn for the sunrise, Your soul not thirst for the paradise God is making by His shakin’ of this world? […]
We don’t live and move and breathe by bread alone, Every thought and all activity is sacred! We are obstinately blind with hearts of stone Resolute, pursuing ways unconsecrated? Every creature, every cloud displays the glory of the Lord Everywhere God’s secret wisdom can be found There are symphonies of holy sound most ears have […]
