Much I’ve been forgiven.
The things despised I prize.
My greatest joy is in heaven.
For God, my soul still cries.
I’ll tell you how I met him.
I was lost, and deep in sin.
I heard the gospel preached
And asked Jesus to come in.
My story has not ended.
In Christ, I continue to grow.
Goodness and mercy follow me
Until to heaven, I go.
There I will sing with the angels.
As I am known, I will know.
On God’s throne, they’ll be seated
Our joy forever we’ll show.
“How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.”
Psalms 84:1-2 NIV
“Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.”
1 John 2:15-17 NIV
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
Matthew 6:24 NIV
“So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.”
Galatians 5:16-17 NIV
