Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,

to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might

and honor and glory and blessing! (Rev. 5:12)

Does imagining the gospel message as a song give new insight for you into the Great Commission?

Consider how and with whom you might be able to share this “song” today or in the near future.

For further study and encouragement, read Revelation 7:9–17.

By Myself

Sitting by myself,

thoughts swallow

internal accounting of

choices,

desires,

actions,

decisions,

words,

and feelings

again falling short.

Righteous standards

out of reach again.

Good intentions

give way to temptation.

Worldly desires

erode vertical love.

Creation resides

on the Creator’s throne.

Sin’s deception

hides idol cravings.

Accepted from above

yet war down below.

Trangression’s struggle

makes Jesus shine clearer.

Invaded darkness

because there was no other way.

Failure preaches

the essentiality of grace.

Boundaries broken

scream for his righteousness.

Life and death struggle

point to a resurrection.

Sitting alone,

but not alone,

his Spirit indwelling,

his righteousness my covering,

his sacrifice justifying,

his grace enabling,

his hope motivating.

Father, Son, and Spirit working,

a fresh start granted—

I rise.
