Absolute Determination

We each are a part of God's purpose
since the very dawn of creation.
Inexpressible is his wisdom,
awe-inspiring his great revelation.
Praise and magnify his glory, then
get down to the business at hand.
The gospel's mystery has been revealed
to all who would understand.
The secrets that angels and prophets
desired so long to know
are now available in his Word,
his love and redemption to show.
He lavishes us with priceless gifts--
salvation through his blood.
His blessings flow like water,
a never-ending flood.
We share in his precious promises
as descendants of Abraham.
Our purpose and focus transcend the earth,
turning it upside down.
Like the early disciples, we boldly proclaim
the gospel to bring others hope.
With fervor and zeal, a cause greater than self,
life now has a much broader scope.
What the world really needs is what we possess
in Christ, our redeemer and friend.
To eat, sleep and dream adoration to him
is the way of the world to upend.
