OUT OF THE DUST OF THE EARTH WERE WE CREATED
EACH ONE OF US A LIVING SOUL
IN GOD WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING
OUTSIDE OF GOD WE HAVE NOTHING GOOD
ALL GOODNESS RESIDES IN GOD AND HIS WORD
IN HIS INFINITE WISDOM GOD CREATED US
THAT WE MIGHT SHARE HIS PARADISE WITH HIM FOR ETERNITY
WE WERE REDEEMED FROM THIS FALLEN WORLD
BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST--OUR SINS WASHED AWAY
BY FAITH, WE WERE COUNTED AS RIGHTEOUS, BEFORE OUR HOLY GOD
GOD PLACED US IN A SPECIFIC POINT IN TIME
TIME, THAT TINY FRACTION OF ETERNITY,
THAT WE MIGHT BE WITNESSES OF HIS GLORY
THAT WE MIGHT LIVE FOR HIM AND IN HIM
CHRIST IN US OUR HOPE OF GLORY
COUNTING THIS LIFE AS HAVING BUT ONE PURPOSE
TO REFLECT THE GLORY OF GOD
LIVING THIS LIFE IN GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY--
HIS KINGDOM WITHIN US
UNDERSTANDING THAT OUR HOME IS NOT IN THIS WORLD
BUT IN THE PROMISE OF GOD, FAR BEYOND THIS WORLD--
OUR FOREVER HOME—HEAVEN--IN THE CITY OF GOD
