The Lord’s Song of Victory

Posted on February 5, 2012 by Ken

The Lord said unto me, “Be not afraid,

The plans that I have made for you will be

And on that day a conq’ror you will be–

Your crown to cast before your Christ is made.

Not smoking, pride, divorce, or anger frayed,

Nor shaped by fame and fortune will you be,

Not reason’s courteous handmaid will you be–

Rather from grief and spite I have you saved;

To show that not from darkness is your start,

But from my very song of victory,

Sung before the age of men and death;

And now a servant, son to me you are,

To you, a God and father I will be.

Now sing! My Victory in every breath.
