The Vision Of Victory!

Gethsemane, a garden blessed, Lord Jesus Christ prayed there And where He proved He was the best When He, His Cross, would bear... At first, Christ prayed, for some way out, If that could serve God's will, If not, Christ had no final doubt And must obey God still... An angel sent to strengthen Him, Gave comfort at this time, New hope filled Jesus to the brim, For Calvary to climb... With joy now set within His mind Of future things to be, His destiny was sure to find Its path through history... But what a servant was the Lord, To suffer, racked with pain, Condemned, His teachings all ignored, His temper to restrain... He chose to be the better man, Held back God's wrath and hate, He interceded, so God's plan Would work, if He would wait... A thief repented at His side, 'Remember me! ' he said, Though both of them were crucified, That man was blessed instead... By faith, by faith and faith alone, That man brought hope to Christ, The Lamb of God would there atone If fully sacrificed... And thus, atonement, fully paid, Has changed 2,000 years, In Christ, a sure foundation laid, Until God's house appears... Upon this rock, this Son of God, Redemption overflows, A holy offering of Blood, This blessing daily grows... The choice is ours, believe, receive, Proclaim the Gospel here, Or stayed defeeted, still to grieve, Condemned, enslaved by fear... What victory will God grant you? What blessing yet stirs praise? What wondrous thing will Jesus do So that your spirits raise? If you but knew... I tell you this, Your hearts would melt with love... God's Paradise, a place of bliss Awaits His saints above... These troubles now, why frown and fret? The future is profound, So why not cast the Gospel net And spread it all around? God's victory is born each day, Authority stands tall, For righteousness has made the way To pardon one and all... By faith, by faith and faith alone God grants transforming power, It starts when Jesus Christ is known... The hero of each hour... Denis Martindale, copyright, June 2013.
