Kingdom All Around

January 29th, 2012

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Romans 5:2 KJV

When all around us, every where we look, the Kingdom realm is shining, what else need we to stand?  When our eyes are solely fixed, what other can entice?

For the entrance of His word brings light, and in His light, we see light!

The Kingdom is now, and it is here, and it is in me, at hand.  For His power lies within me, for His promise lives within.

His Spirit and His life, His very words He spoke, have sprouted and grown leaves, unto the budding grain.

When all the world has faded dim, and never came back again, we have only to press on ’til midnight, for a new day to begin.  The fields are white with harvest, His Heart is burning bright.  Let nothing else be seen again, in that Gospel light.

Burning bright, and burning strong, let every other thing, be burned away from off my eyes, as dung it is.

By faith we stand, in His Spirit strong, standing with His mighty power.  Armor of light and shield of faith, with sword of His Word in my hand.

My captain is the Lord, and my maker is my king.  In an army vast though yet unseen, we take rank to fight again.

Though I stand alone or with the thousands, I stand with strength again.  For this Mighty King, this Eternal One, has conquered my heart of sin.

Glory, power, might, and blood, fill my soul again, and every wound and sorrow ache, fade away like passing things.

Do not speak to me of life, do not speak to me of death, for I do not live, nor will I die, for Christ is all within.

Fire, and glory, and blood, and smoke, rise all around the field, yet His light dawns bright, and I take breath, and stand and win again.

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus, His Blood Eternal ring.  Jesus, Jesus, mighty Jesus, your name wins again.

Oh, to be raptured in your love, to be caught up within your blood.  Far from the clamor, noise and strife, and be within, within.

But, as your grace commands my soul, and as your word doth guide, so my soul takes life again, the darkness to divide.

Your grace to teach me, your grace to reach me, your grace to pull me in.  I will not fear the mightiest men, for your great life doth win.

All I want is to be your child, again upon your floor.  With nothing left to win or hide, the battle always is mine.

The glory that you shared, the light within your eye, doth take me, lift me, and make me thine, forever and again.

Burn bright within, oh flame of Yah, you mighty bright Good God.  For you reign in heavens, majesty, my love, my guide, my God.

No one else, no other one, is like your mightly flame.  No greater thing than to see your face, by which I will survive.

Take this life, for it is thine, and nothing do I hide.  Reveal me, peel me, and strip me bare, that I might shine like the sun.

For in the multitude of your counsel, saftey has been found, and you bid me come and die.

And die, and die, and die again, until you be satisfied.

Rip through this flesh, with your furrows wide, make full the afflictions won,

fill up the afflictions lacking, with whatever my flesh can bear.

Burn in me Holy, Eternal one, and seize with terror this frame, let never this dread of you release me, through all the darkest night.

Let me be your candle, burning brightly, set high upon a hill, and neither man or demon shall disuade me, in all the world’s day long.

For strength is mine, and might by you, by your Spirit in your power,

and you uphold me mightly through your name, until the dawning day.

Burn in me, take to me, and consume me through and through, until nothing of me remains in me, and I am wholly yours.

In the morning in the ash, not even ember remain.  Drawn by the wind, again and again, my heart screams this refrain…

Your love is Eternal, and I will not cease, come once, come oft, come all.

There is no light but yours, so blind my eyes, and take away this mortal death.  Take away again, the thought of it, til it’s Kingdom all around.

And, I will not look, I will not stop, til all the world is saved, lest your hand stop and take me home, and you take me as your own.

I have no life, I have no hope, I have no life of alt, for I have caught glimpse in of the master, and my lips they have been purged.

Take me again, oh Lord Jesus Christ, and take from this mortal frame, all other glance, all other flame, until your mighty name,

gleams with a light that cannot be stopped, across this chest of mine,

til the brightness of your rising, destroys thought and will and mind.

Consume, mighty One, for nothing remains, of any worth the same,

for your might hand, your mighty ways, have burned in me a name.

Yeshua in the heavens, Him I will glorify,

and I will praise, and I will bless,

Til He is in the sky.

His glory, our only thought, His Kingdom, the only arm,

for the flesh will fail, and God will stand,

and on, and on, and on.

Yeshua, you come quickly…
