Hope To Hold To

orchidee



Tune: Christchurch

('Now is eternal life')

1 Corinthians 15 v.20-28 parts

********

But now Christ arisen

Redeems us from our sin

He the first-fruits, first one

To rise, God's only Son

So we share in the hope, and we

Shall too be raised with Christ, so be

 

At the end time Christ shall

Have achieved all things well

His be the victory

Full clear for all to see

He shall have put down every rule

Shall give to God the kingdom all

 

Each power, authority

To God must subject be

And Christ must reign till he

Rules all-victoriously

Death it be the last enemy

That by Him true destroyed shall be

 

When all things subdued be

God shall be completely

All in all, Christ's work done

He the beloved Son

The resurrection hope, we pray

Strengthen us  Lord with this each day

          True victory is to be free of everything, materially, emotionally and spiritually


          • orchidee

            Thanks Suresh. Though I don't go along with being set free of everything. I believe we at least need the spiritual. We all need to be free of my singing, that's a fact! heehee.

            When will you be releasing that song you wrote on the battlefield?

            • orchidee

              Soon, yes M. The one called 'All was fine, until I came along and mucked it all up?' It's subtitled 'Why did I bother to turn up?!' lol.

                Don't it make my brown eyes red.
