Not our will, but the Father's be
Accomplished for the world to see;
Forbid the shadowy fist to break
This little flock-- for Jesus' sake.
Ofttimes Satan's strength seems dire;
And strange deceptions also, acquire
Power to clench and strangle the world
His evil plot, unfurled.
Lawless laws, and doctors of death
And hate for we who speak with holy breath;
Lovers of darkness despise God's light,
And kings conspire to rule this night.
And now, in horror behold Babylon!
Steering that Beast she lusts upon--
Power to clench and strangle the world
His evil plot, unfurled.
Lawless laws, and doctors of death
And hate for we who speak with holy breath;
Lovers of darkness despise God's light,
And kings conspire to rule this night.
And now, in horror behold Babylon!
Steering that Beast she lusts upon--
Those merchant men who sell such filthy fruit
Sorceries of the Dragon's prostitute.
The victory of our warfare, then
Is in sweet prayers ever sent--
Sweet fragrance before the Father's throne
That Jesus Christ be proclaimed and known--
That every heart darkened, turn and change--
Dark intentions rearranged--
That each desperate heart find salvation, revealed,
And in the Spirit of Truth thus be sealed.
Our hearts rejoice, we overcome by faith
The victory of our warfare, then
Is in sweet prayers ever sent--
Sweet fragrance before the Father's throne
That Jesus Christ be proclaimed and known--
That every heart darkened, turn and change--
Dark intentions rearranged--
That each desperate heart find salvation, revealed,
And in the Spirit of Truth thus be sealed.
Our hearts rejoice, we overcome by faith
Knowing what the scripture saith.
We speak that truth-- we ever watch and pray--
And labor in love, while yet there's day.
Time will soon fold up into eternity;
Our Saviour cometh-- all will see!
We speak that truth-- we ever watch and pray--
And labor in love, while yet there's day.
Time will soon fold up into eternity;
Our Saviour cometh-- all will see!
O Father, not our will, but Thine be done
As we occupy 'til he comes.
As we occupy 'til he comes.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
-- Philippians 4:7-8
