Freedom in Christ Week 3 - 'The World's View of Truth'

Living in the world of truth

This world is not the one I used to have
there the Air King ruled and led my paths
There's only one who now allows me to see
His name is Jesus and He said 'follow me'

Lit up with hope and provisioned with bread,
When I accepted he'd died and rose from dead
In the fullness of Him who fills everything,
There's no room for the prince to ruin things

Without additions, I won't subtract
The view I have is of a world intact
The lies I once believed I abhor
The thief who steals can kill no more

That thief exists and is still there,
But my mind's set and I beware
Each day I see and step away
So I can reach the fullest day

When problems strike and I go wrong
My prayer's steadfast and keeps me strong
No more do I recriminate,
For the things I do that set my fate.

 

I renounce the lie...

It's a lie that the spirit world,
doesn't bear on reality
It's true that there is something,
beyond what I can see,

I renounce the lie that money,
Makes me feel secure
The money that I have
Is enough for me, I'm sure

The reason for my fortune?
Because I'm in God's hand,
this is where my life is,
no pressure, no demands

It's a lie that I should worry,
or feel cursed in where I dwell,
It's true that I am seated
within Christ's heavenly realm

His kingdom is much higher,
Than others which might claim,
No power is above Him,
None has a greater name.
