Philippians 1

Whether I live or whether I die
May Christ be magnified in me
Whether I go to my Father on high
Let Christ be all that they see

I am not afraid to die
I long to be away from this place
I'll take my wings, to His glory I'll fly
That I may behold His face

To live is Christ and to die is gain
For the Kingdom dwells in my heart
No matter what I suffer, no matter the pain
From my Jesus I am never apart

So let men do what ere they may
For I shall suffer for His sake
I will raise my hands to God and pray
For my soul is His and His to take

So let us stand together as one
In the gospel of Christ our Lord
And we shall stand till the day is done
With the Lamb and the Blood and the Sword

Stand fast my brothers and do not yield
When the enemy comes in like a flood
We shall live or die on the battle-field
For we are covered by Emmanuel's Blood

Philippians In Poetry

Whether I live or whether I die
May Christ be magnified in me
Whether I go to my Father on high
Let Christ be all that they see

I am not afraid to die
I long to be away from this place
I'll take my wings, to His glory I'll fly
That I may behold His face

To live is Christ and to die is gain
For the Kingdom dwells in my heart
No matter what I suffer, no matter the pain
From my Jesus I am never apart

So let men do what ere they may
For I shall suffer for His sake
I will raise my hands to God and pray
For my soul is His and His to take

So let us stand together as one
In the gospel of Christ our Lord
And we shall stand till the day is done
With the Lamb and the Blood and the Sword

Stand fast my brothers and do not yield
When the enemy comes in like a flood
We shall live or die on the battle-field
For we are covered by Emmanuel's Blood

He took on the form of a bondservant
And came in the likeness of man
Glory stepped down into darkness
And the fulfillment of God's holy plan

And He humbled Himself and was obedient
And was willing to suffer the loss
Of His glory and majesty of heaven above
And die, even the death of the cross

Therefore God has highly exalted Him
With the name which is above every name
And forever the name of Jesus
The angels will sing of its fame

And every knee in heaven and earth
Shall bow to Christ the King
And every tongue will confess His name
And all their praises they will sing

So walk with the Lord and do His will
And seek only heavenly treasure
And He will do a work in you
That's His will and for His good pleasure

Children of God, walk without fault
In the midst of a crooked generation
Let your light so shine before men
That they too may find salvation

Rejoice in the Lord always
And lift His holy name
Rejoice in the Lord, the God of all
Who never leaves us the same

You can grow up in the church
And go through the motions
You can sing the hymns
And read the devotions

You can do all of that
And do it with zeal
But if you dont't know the Lord
Then what's the deal?

But just one moment
In His glorious presence
To know who He is
Just know His essence

will render all religion
Perfectly meaningless
As we kneel at His throne
In the beauty of Holiness

Now everything before
We count as lost
As we embrace the throne
As we embrace the cross

This knowledge of our God
To be found in Him
Makes the things of the world
Grow strangly dim

His inpenatrable light
Is what makes this world dim
All that now counts
Is that I know Him

Not that I am perfect
But I press on in
To grow closer to God
To grow further from sin

And now I forget
Those things left behind
I now look forward
For I'm no longer blind

And with those eyes
He has given to me
I look to the Lord
To be all that I see

He fills up my vision
With His glory above
He fills this new heart
With His glorious love

Even though I must suffer
The loss of all things
My heart could care less
To my Saviour it clings

So avoid at all cost
I tell you with weeping
The enemies of the cross
Who would keep you all sleeping

For their end is destruction
And they seek only gold
They will wither and die
As God's judgments unfold

Be anxious for nothing
And stand by His side
Lift your prayers to the Lord
Do not run, do not hide

And everything in prayer
And by supplication
You must fall to you knees
In humble adoration

And with a thankfull heart
He fills you with peace
Lift your hands to the King
May your worship never cease

And this peace that surpasses
All understanding
Will guard your heart through Jesus
With a peace that's outstanding

For whatever things are noble
And whatever things are true
Meditate on these
That's what you must do

Think about virtue
And what's worthy of praise
Whatever things are lovely
Dwell on these all your days

And learn to be content
And walk without need
For the Lord is our resource
He's our provider indeed

And whether we are hungry
Or whether we're full
We will tell the whole world
He reigns and rules

For I can do all things
For Christ strengthens me
He's the King of all Kings
He has set me free

According to His riches
He'll supply every need
He's the giver of life
He's the sower of seed

A Tangible Proof

Tangible proof of The Living God, came to walk on this earthly sod,
In Jesus Christ, God’s Own Son, The Lord and Savior of everyone.
Christ came to minister for all to see, The Living God of all Eternity,
He appeared in The Father’s Place, beginning God’s Age of Grace.

All the men who saw Christ that day, saw the Father in a living way,
Being sent by The Father above, to show all men His Father’s love.
God, who spoke thru prophets of old, sent His Son for all to behold.
No one ever looked on God’s face, apart from His awesome Grace.

Jesus was not just a man by birth; He was the very God of the earth,
The God-Man and Son Jesus Christ, sent to be The Lord’s sacrifice,
Paying sin’s price so we could be, the children of God for all Eternity.
God chose to send His Only Son, to die for the sin that we had done.

It’s only thru the Son Jesus Christ, can we know the Father in this life,
The Way God had revealed himself to, fallen sinners like me and you.
Jesus said The Father lived in Him, the Lamb of God who had no sin,
While Christ our Savior also knew, He himself lived in The Father too.

On returning to His Throne on high, Christ sent His Spirit to you and I,
So that He’d never have to depart, Christ came to live inside our heart.
Christ also has a place for you and me, to live with God for all Eternity,
Where after this present Age of Grace, we’ll see The Lord face to face.

Why We Worship God

The reason why we worship God, all across the lands we trod,
Are found in God’s Only Son, and for all us, what He has done.
Above all, Christ is our Creator, not to mention, He’s our Savior.
And everything in our life, is sustained by our Lord Jesus Christ.

We partake of an inheritance, along with a heavenly residence,
From God’s Riches up above, secured for ever by Christ’s Love.
We’re delivered from this darkness, and into God’s Eternal bliss,
From the darkness of this night, to reign forever in Christ’s Light.

We are conveyed into a Kingdom, one from Christ soon to come,
To live forever with God my friend, in a Kingdom that will not end.
By Christ we’ve been redeemed, and now by God are esteemed,
For now belonging to Jesus Christ, we receive from Him New Life.

We’ve been forgiven of all our sin, and receive a new heart within,
A new heart to follow Jesus Christ, this because He paid the price.
In Christ we have reconciliation, with God above thru His salvation,
For it is the Blood of Jesus Christ, that reconciles every single life.

We’re presented in His Righteousness, without spot or blemishes,
To God the Father, up above, pure and holy through Christ’s Love.
These above and many more, are why we worship Christ our Lord,
When you place in Him your trust, you’ll too, worship along with us.

Praise The Cross Of Jesus

Today I praise the cross of Jesus, where He died and bled for me.
For on that very cross of Jesus, His bloody death has set me free.
Christ came to die for all of us, upon that bloody cross of Calvary.
And upon Him I place my trust, from this day through all Eternity.

It was upon the cross of Christ, that He came to die so I could live.
Christ came to offer to us His life, the gift His Father chose to give.
Jesus came to be our sacrifice, so that all our sins God will forgive.
It is through the blood of Jesus Christ, that I can now eternally live.

Nothing was done on my part, but to accept Christ and to believe.
Christ even moved upon my heart, with The Spirit that I received.
New Life in me He would start, the life The Spirit would conceive.
And for me, a message to impart, for New Life you must believe.

You must believe in Jesus Christ, who came to save you and me.
He sent The Spirit into this strife, to give us eyes so we could see,
That Jesus came to give men life, so that they could live eternally.
This life is found in Jesus Christ, and is from the blood of Calvary.

Friend, there is only but one name, that men can lift up and raise,
For no common man can claim, any credit and seek men’s praise.
No man’s glory and or fame, can compare to The Ancient of Days.
And Jesus Christ is the only name, that by all men will be praised.

What is Christianity (Catholicism) ?

To live a Catholic life
In an alien land!
To be witness for Christ,
And join the martyrs’ band.

To suffer for Christ’s sake,
And offer them to God;
To bear our cross and walk
In footsteps of the Lord.

To live upto our faith,
No matter how comes strife;
To live with hope in Christ
Is prime in Christian’s life.

To be persecuted
For sake of Christ is true;
And being ill-treated,
The Almighty, we woo.

To read the Word of God
As Bible’s verses tell;
To mitigate our rod,
And never land in hell.

To spread the Word of God
To every person born;
To die a holy death,
And God’s abode adorn.

The road to God is clear
Narrow and only one;
With God, why should we fear?
His love gave us His Son.

To turn a martyr then
For faith and sake of Christ;
If need be, we will die
As Christ shed His blood first!

The Resurrection Changes Everything

The Resurrection changes everything, through the power of Jesus Christ,
As Christ becomes our Lord and King, giving all Believers brand new life.
To Him we lift up our praise and sing, for us He came to be our sacrifice,
Christ destroyed death with its sting, and prepared us a place in Paradise.

This change begins first in our heart, when in Jesus Christ we do believe,
Then from Heaven Christ will impart, His Spirit, for all believers to receive.
From our being, Christ will not depart, as new life in us He does conceive,
In The Savior change has its start; by the Resurrection new life is achieved.

Through God’s Resurrection power, Jesus Christ’s body could not remain,
And believers live each day and hour, New Life through the Savior’s name.
As new life on us Christ shall shower, we no longer live our lives the same,
Now living for Him we do not cower, through Christ’s Resurrection change,

In the power of Christ’s Resurrection, believers now live life the narrow way,
A new life that was not our selection, but we live for Christ now day to day.
We’ve been called through His election, no matter what other men may say,
And ordained by God a new direction, upon a course, Christ helps us stay.

Friend, everything is changed by God, when New Life in Christ has begun,
As we live life upon this earthly sod, all believers live to Glorify God’s Son,
Lead by Christ every step we trod, we become God’s witness to everyone,
Guided by The Lord’s staff and rod, until our work upon this earth is done.

I Stand Redeemed

I stand Redeemed, for through The Blood of The Lord I was bought,
It was on The Cross of Christ that the war for my soul was fought.

He did not come for the righteous, but to seek and save all the lost,
His search did not bring Him treasure; instead it came at great cost.

The Lamb of God for me was slain and crucified upon a bloody cross,
Christ died for me, so that through Eternity I would not suffer loss.

The Son of God came to save but was mocked, scoffed at and despised,
This was by His own, lead by those who were wise in their own eyes.

When they were asked about Jesus, Crucify him! Is what they screamed,
Little did they know that through Christ God was saving the Redeemed.

He was lead to The Cross to die by men who were spiritually deceived,
But there were also men like Nicodemus who saw Christ and believed.

It was for the sins of His people, that The Lord Jesus was stricken.
And then Isaiah says that He was assigned a grave with the wicked.

It wasn't only for Israel He died, for on The Cross He took my place,
And all who like Nicodemus, can be saved through His Wonderful Grace.

Just as The Lord will discard all the wicked of the earth like dross,
The sins of all who believe are covered by The Blood of The Cross.

For ages the prophets looked towards a day of redemption and dreamed,
Now two thousand years later it's at The Cross that I stand Redeemed.

So Much for Us

The Lord God did so much for us, when we came to Christ Jesus,
Wickedly lost and so depraved, sinful men, by Christ God saved,
So far from any thoughts of God, living upon this sin cursed sod,
Who, when found in Jesus Christ, are now clothed for Eternal Life.

We were chosen by God's Grace, then destined for a better place,
To live forever with Jesus Christ, this, as we enter into Eternal Life;
As He who loved us died for all, to redeem man from Adam's Fall,
Saved from that curse of death, when we're granted eternal breath.

Yes, God bought us with a price, so we could enter into Paradise,
The Precious Blood of The Lamb, so to live with The Great 'I AM';
Cleansing us from sin and stain, not through our trial, but His pain,
Through Christ's death on Calvary, so that man could live eternally.

He robed us in His Righteousness, far from our wicked sinfulness,
And His Righteousness will endure, from this time, to forevermore;
As Christ keeps us upon this earth, through His Spirit of New Birth,
Being kept for greater things, to serve eternally, The King of kings.

By Christ we have been Glorified, so that in Heaven we may reside,
In that Mansion, prepared for us, by our risen Savior, Christ Jesus,
To live with The Lord God forever, with Christ's Church all together,
Being together in Heaven eternally; all attained by Christ at Calvary.

Born This Day

Christmas is the day
The angels came to say
they said be not afraid
for born on this day
born to save is Christ The Lord
Sheperds watched by night
When that angel appeared from on high
and said be not afraid for born on this day
born to save is Christ The Lord
Christ the Lord
Wise men from afar
Said they followed the eastern star
followed it to this place
For born on this day
born to save is Christ The Lord
Born this day
Christmas day
Born to save the world is Christ the Lord
(2X)
they said be not afraid
for born on this day
born to save is Christ The Lord
Christ The Lord
He's GOd the Father, God the Son and Holy Spirit
Christmas is the day
When the angels appeared to say
they said be not afraid
for born on this day
born to save is Christ The Lord
Born this day
Christmas day
Born to save the world is Christ the Lord
(4X)
They said be not afraid
for born on this day
born to save our lives
His name is Jesus Christ
He is Emmanuel
He is Christ
and he is born to save
He's Christ the Lord

My Chains Are In Christ

To be chained in Christ
Is to be free indeed
Free to die and free to bleed
Free to walk the pilgrim way
Free to die to self each day

To be lost in Christ
Is to be found
To feel His presence all around
To plunge into the Father's love
To walk with Him like hand in glove

To be dead in Christ
Is to truly live
To truly love and to forgive
To live this life and so much more
To honor, worship and adore

To live in Christ
Is to die
To walk with Him who dwells on high
Alive to Christ and dead to sin
Gloriously filled from deep within

To reign with Christ
Is to serve
A testimony to preserve
Of the glorious King who reigns on high
Whose glory fills the earth and sky

To walk with Christ
Is to run
To know the journey's just begun
To run and run and never tire
To soar with wings and ever higher

To dwell with Christ
Is to roam
We'll never settle till we're home
Pilgrim saints along the way
Ever closer every day

The paradoxes that we find
In Christ alone renews the mind
The way that seems so right to man
Is opposite to our God's plan
