Worship Warriors

 

Singing for the highest realm,
   We’re given grace, for we’re reborn;
We hail the Christ, God’s sole Son,
   To magnify the Father’s horn.

 

Be amazed, O host o’ heaven,
   The weak, by grace, are strong.
Now by same grace, with golden throat,
   We sing the Lord’s gospel song.

 

Shake with fear, demons o’ contempt,
  Our weapon is our song;
By which we now tear down walls,
   For our Christ, for whom we long.

 

We cannot glory for ourselves,
   As if this gift is self-ordained;
We do such for He who loves,
   Love-compelled by He who reigns.

 

For what is our lot, by grace,
   Who deserve Perdition?
Our place is to worship the Eternal,
   Dwelling with Him who made us heaven.

 

So we are given more grace,
   A pattern we’re to set;
To live with song in our hearts,
   For the One we have not met.

 

Our time here is but a test,
   An exercise for the ‘morrow,
When we sing forevermore,
   For our Christ, whom we now follow.

 

But for now, this our blessing:
   He inhabits all our praise;
We sing for the living Lord,
   Whom the Father raised!

    YA! Awesome! Like everyone else said... superb job! Amen! Great rhyming and awesome word choice. Everything flows pefectly together creating an indescribable poem.

    Be amazed, O host o’ heaven,
    The weak, by grace, are strong.
    Now by same grace, with golden throat,
    We sing the Lord’s gospel song.

    This is my most favorite part because... well, it's just awesome, like the entire poem. God Bless!

    Amen, amen, This is awesome. I loved it, you did a really good job like always. I loved this one, this would make such an awesome song,
    Shake with fear, demons o’ contempt,
    Our weapon is our song;
    By which we now tear down walls,
    For our Christ, for whom we long.


    AMEN
