My grace drifts from heaven, like the falling snow
Softly, slowly coating the harsh cold earth below
You could never earn this beauty coming from My throne
All the treasure of the earth could not for sin atone
Though your sins are scarlet, they shall be white as snow
My Son paid the price for them on a cross not long ago
When you believe this, in your heart, you will be set free
From the law of sin and death and sin’s penalty
Your fallen nature always lives beneath this grace of snow
I’ve given you free will to live as My friend or foe
Your calling is to be conformed–to be like My Son
You’ll need My mercy and My grace before that day is done

Mountain of the Lord
Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?
Those with clean hands and pure hearts in accord
Who will seek My face and of My ways inquire?
Ones who fear Me, and make Me their desire
Nothing will I withhold when you make Me your delight
Mysteries are revealed when I grant you deeper sight
Dimensions will manifest and share its secrets with you
Will you now make time for a daily rendezvous?
I invite you to dwell on My mountain with Me
Its secrets unending throughout eternity
To all who will come, its gates are opened wide
The King of glory invites you to come in and abide

Whoever does these things will never be shaken.”

Rewards Without End
What will I bring to God on the day that I die?
A life filled with pleasure or a life crucified?
Did I die to self so that sin would not reign?
A crown awaits those who ran the race, not in vain
If I died with Christ, eternal life, I’ll acquire
To delight in His Presence is my heart’s desire
Eternity will prove true all the words in God’s book
Rewards without end, for all who believed and partook
When faith becomes sight, and we walk the streets of gold
The sites we see will be much greater than foretold
We’ll wish we did more for God in our time on the Earth
No suffering can compare to our God’s great worth

Romans 6:5-8 – “For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.”

Galatians 5:22-26 – “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.

Romans 8:18 – “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”

Friend of God
Me:
I only want Your way, oh Lord, that is what I pray
My heart is open to Your truth, teach me to obey
Discipline and trust I’ll need to follow to the end
Disciples aren’t just servants, You call them Your friend
Oh, to be a friend of God, what would that require?
To remain close by Your side is what I aspire
Like a branch in a vine, Your life flows into me
When I surrender to Your will, I’ll fulfill my destiny
Lord:
If you remain in Me, and My Words you willingly do
Ask whatever you wish and it will be given you
Take the love I pour out and let it overflow
You will bear much fruit and My kingdom then will grow
Don’t let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid
I will be your comfort, and I will give you aid
Isn’t that what friends do while living on this earth?
I gave My life for you to show you your true worth

John 15:12-15 – “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.”

Shining Ever Brighter
The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn
When the morning star rises in the east, with a song
Shining ever brighter until the full light of day
Following the Son, who is our Life, Truth, and Way
The way of the wicked is like the deep darkness of night
Because their ways are evil, they try to avoid the light
Filled with pride, they do not know what makes them stumble
Blindly, they fight God and His children, the humble
Whoever lives by the truth will come into the light
Being changed by God’s glory into His likeness bright
Who may ascend the hill and stand in God’s holy place?
Those with a pure heart will one day see God’s face

God’s Word I Will Believe
It is settled in my heart, God’s Word I will believe
God’s will plainly spelled out for all who will receive
There is no excuse therefore, but to follow and obey
It’s the book that will be used when we reach judgment day
This Word became a man and chose to dwell among us
Displaying God’s love with deeds of the miraculous
He willingly died to pay the price for all our sin
To any who believe this, He will come to live within
Search my heart, oh God, to find any wicked way
Cleanse and heal my soul to keep me from going astray
My faith will be tested when I reach for Your Word to achieve
I’ll stand on Your promises given to all who will believe

Proclaim My Death
When you eat of this bread and drink of this cup
You proclaim My death and the evil one’s plans disrupt
They were defeated by My blood that was shed
Crushing their victory with shock and much dread
The spirit world’s rulers did not understand
The blood of the Lamb was what My Father had planned
Now, all who believe are set free from sin’s curse
Their sins cast away further than the universe
Gather together in remembrance of Me
It is by My blood shed that you have victory
Proclaim My death until I return
My enemy’s plans, you will then overturn
My blood, My blood will not lose its power
When you proclaim My blood, your enemies will cower
By the blood of the Lamb, they were defeated
What I have started, must now be completed

Destined for Great Victories
Me:
I need a word of hope, and direction to
See how they attack and Your Words they misconstrue
You are still the same and evermore shall be
What You’ve done for others You will do for me
Lord:
I have not changed and My Word is still alive
It’s My people who are dead and need to be revived
They don’t know My ways and My power they reject
Those who walk in faith and truth are ones that they suspect
It always was that way and will be until the end
It’s through persecution that you’re proved to be My friend
You would not need faith if all is well with you
You’re destined for great victories that I will see you through

For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”

Judgement is Falling
“Write My Words down,” I heard the Lord say
My judgment is falling without delay
My people have been My enemies’ food
With evil schemes they are being pursued
Draw close to Me and watch what I will do
Miracles you’ll see as I protect you
Great shakings are coming to set you free
They’re not for you but for your enemy
I will hold you in the palm of My hand
Their schemes turned to dust is what I have planned
Speak out in faith, use My Word as a sword
Fight for your land and you’ll see it restored
You have the authority of My Name
Take back what has been stolen and reclaim
My judgment is falling to clear the way
The time of the harvest is underway

Ephesians 6:10-17 – “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Matthew 13:37-43 – “He answered, ‘The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
40 As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.’”
Luke 10:1-24
Angelic Hosts
The wind of My breath is blowing, blowing
Directing angelic hosts that are going, going
Some are stationed at the battle’s front line
While others are protecting the children that are Mine
Rise up, rise up with the authority that is yours
Declare My Word in faith, My Spirit implores
It’s not enough to believe, there are things you must do
Inquire of My Spirit and then follow through
Angelic hosts are directed by the words you say
As a result of the things that you pray
You have more weapons than you realize
They are hidden in My Word for you to recognize
Angels are sent forth to minister to those
My heirs of salvation dressed in white clothes
I make My angels winds, My servants, flames of fire
To accomplish My will, and whatever I desire
