Transformation of peace
Gathered in God’s hands
Fulfillment of His Word
Messiah comes to stand

Hearts filling with truth
Opened in God’s light
Hope stirring from darkness
Calvary’s welcome flight

Never forsaken
Loved through God’s caring
Steadfast grace now descends
Savior’s forthwith sharing

New covenant’s breath
Charged from God’s boldness
Praises full of wonder
Christ transforms sin’s coldness

Enemy trembles
Quashed by God’s own hand
Holiness lives throughout
Redemption comes as planned

From Psalm 89:5-6: “Let the heavens praise Your wonders, O Lord, Your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones. For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord? Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord.”

From Romans 13:11-12:  “Besides this, you know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep.  For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers; the night is far gone, the day is near.  Let us then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.”

Turning away from temptation’s path

Following God’s Holy, righteous road

Transforming self into Christ’s image

Experiencing His love, bestowed

 

Breathing, yet lost in evil’s darkness

Hiding in shame, past sinful landscape

Reaching for Salvation’s lasting grace

Wearing armor of light, faith reshapes

 

Sharing His Father’s Word, Christ teaches

Loving one another, sharing peace

Witnessing His greatest commandment

Living with openness, life’s new lease

 

Leaving His advocate, Christ assures

Coming Holy Spirit, lifts each life

Overcoming sin’s flesh-filled desires

Growing in submission, without strife

 

Offering path to new life, Christ comes

Forsaking life’s bold truth, darkness flees

Walking in faith, stepping into light

Remaining steadfast, in what He sees

From the words of American pastor and Christian teacher, Charles Stanley:  “When we rely on Him [God] instead of ourselves, He produces godly desires within us, empowers obedience, and transforms our character into Christ’s likeness.”

From James 1:22: “But be doers of the word and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.”

Father’s expectations
Obedience to His Word
Man’s imperfect faith
Heaven’s light remains blurred

Father addressed as Lord
Mankind’s trust remains distant
Shallow commitment
Actions inconsistent

Father’s observations
Each believer falling short
Every fool’s errand
Without Heaven’s passport

Father’s forthright guidance
Witnessed journey of His Son
Righteousness of Christ
Obedience of One

Father’s harmony breathes
Through Savior’s perfect actions
Unblemished lamb’s grace
Source of sin’s retraction

From Romans 5:19: “For just as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so through the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.”

The remedy for discouragement is the Word of God. When you feed your heart and mind with its truth, you regain your perspective and find renewed strength.
