In Moments Like This...

There is an experience of timelessness

Such as no watch can comprehend,

Still...

There is an experience of loveliness

Such as no beauty can express,

Still...

There is an experience of wholesomeness

Such as no pleasure can measure,

Still...

There is an experience of righteousness

Such as no law can represent,

Still...

In moments like this, in His presence,

I rejoice.

There I Stand...

There where we stand as fools for His wisdom’s sake,

There I stand.

There where we are weak for His strength’s sake,

There I stand.

There where we are dishonoured for His being distinguished’s sake,

There I stand.

There where we are hungry and thirsty for His righteousness’ sake,

There I stand.

There where we are naked, and beaten, and homeless for His kingdom’s sake,

There I stand.

There where we labour, working with our hands for His gospel’s sake,

There I stand.

There where we being reviled, we bless for His name’s sake,

There I stand.

There where we being persecuted, we endure for His glory’s sake,

There I stand.

There where we being defamed, we entreat for His goodness’s sake,

There I stand.

There where we have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things for His joy’s sake,

There I stand.

Until now...
