FIRST AND BEST
-He will lift you up
Bow low to His feet as you seek His face; ask for truths to strengthen
your walk, and thank Him for His grace. Humble yourself before Him, and He
will lift you high; He will gather you to His bosom as you sincerely draw
nigh.
Love the Lord first and best. Let the sunshine of His glory penetrate
your heart; for it was by His work at Calvary that life in you was awakened.
May the intensity of your love toward Him be consistently true. May your
daily lament for Him never cease. May your spirituality be strong that you
may prosper always in His love.
Like fully ripe ears of corn
Each of us shall be gathered home
Our eyes will behold His glory
Shimmering gloriously from the holy throne.
We'll not sorrow that we were warriors
Only rejoice in His gift of grace
With life's conflicts now all behind us
-before us is our Father's face.
