Lost & Won in the Battle

What I got

Is more than a lot

SON of GOD my Savior purchased me won with blood took a toll

Grace through faith in HIM saved me come flood my soul

 

When I fought

Lost a war as a prisoner caught

Good Shepherd came to find me in a deep pit

Mercy and compassion reached to lift me up and now will I submit

 

More than ever

Better late than never

KING of kings purchased me forevermore so I will press on leaving what’s behind

Faith, hope, and love I can no longer ignore so in return I respond to others in kind

 

What I live for now

Is far beyond what I can think, ask, or imagine endow

FATHER of Lights shine down as I walk humbly along abiding

All my delights in HIM for desires come true of Heaven each new dawn reminding 

 

When I sought

Found YOUR will inside my heart wrought

The Potter forms this clay confide until I decide chosen behoove from above to follow

Listen and obey one day guide until I’d open to prove HIS love anew unfold

 

More than silver and gold

Is wisdom bought to save souls behold

Redeemer and High Priest fights the battles I couldn’t win alone

Freedom arise released ignites the Fruit of the Spirit to be shown

Realize

 

When will you realize

Hope of Heaven is alive

Found in JESUS Christ

Who died, buried, did rise

Blood that fell on all sides

So much so go unrecognized

Disfigured sought the prize

Win hearts despised

Bought souls as wise

Forgives all sin no matter size

For all you are confides

Accepts all who abides

Beyond failures and tries

An answer for the why’s

Truth be told even if denies

Better than world’s lies

No need for disguise

Grace and mercy applies

Tears kept that never dries

Not left at an end demise

Under shelter of wings hides

Until stronger to arise

On the heights rides

Go to HIM after one dies

HE has keys so HE decides

Choice of humility not of prides

All wrongs will be made rights

Gift given by FATHER of Lights

Broken spirit sacrifice

Heart contrite not despise

Battles faced HE fights

Desires given in HIM delights

Ever-present help in darkest nights

Kept in HIS love all the days of our lives

HE never leaves nor forsakes your cries

Even to the end of time reminds

HE will receive you in HIS arms finds

Faith becomes sight at HIS table dines

Hope becomes Light that forever shines

Love becomes delight that never confines

Eternal life exists for all who unto HIM binds
