proclaim boldly #Poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #John9 #Messiah #faith #believe #blind #see #calling #purpose #freewill #choice


We are given sight, healing,
made alive in Christ...
We must proclaim boldly
how God redeemed you...
witness to the power of Christ...
 
We must be present, listen closely,
to God speaking to you
We have a calling, a purpose,
a mission in God’s creation...
witness to the power of Christ...

We choose our destiny
whether we remain blind
We each are called by Christ,
to our heavenly home...
 
We can condemn ourselves
embracing eternal damnation
We are given hope
in the sacrifice of Christ...
 
But we can stay in our sin
We choose our destiny
the eternal gift of glory
or Hell’s bitter flames...

God has a plan
We have a purpose
All to glorify God
Out of our sight
Out of our healing
To testify with boldness
To give God glory
We are each called
To witness to God...
 
God has a plan
We have a purpose
Through our struggles
Through our healing
Our witness of God’s power
We are each called
We are convicted
To share our story
For the glory of God...

Radiant beings – v8

Radiant beings,
in shimmering color,
creatures of light, of liquid,
as He is so we shall be,
Made of rich bright texture
raised on gossamer wings
and colors of dew

When we see the Christ
when we really see Him
as He is so we shall be
Pure and holy, as He is now,
wearing the banners,
shimmering brilliance,
with His robe flowing down

Radiant beings – v5

Our true nature
released from the dust
Radiant beings
creatures of light
as He is so we shall be
in shimmering color
rich bright texture
and colors of dew
gossamer wings
in the courts of heaven
in full view

Our true nature
released from the dust
When we see the Christ
when we really see Him
as He is so we shall be
pure, holy, as He is now
the fabric of light
wearing the banners
shimmering brilliance
His robe flowing down
in radiant sparkling white

Thus it is written – v2

For thus it is written
that all this must happen
to fulfill the law
to fulfill prophecy
I had to die, be killed
by the hired hands
the Messiah speaking
unbelieving eyes
coming to see
this was the Christ
the One crucified
Risen before them
in God’s victory
risen from the dead
