Delivered from Bondage

In this life there will be opposition
Something that will prevent complete submission
To the Lord in glory and honor
As we should acknowledge His grace and His splendor

But there are those who don't know the Lord
And do not fear His frightful sword
So they protest against worshipping Him
Being content to just stay in sin

Making excuses and say we are lazy
Getting harsher and harsher and making us crazy
But God will redeem us with a powerful arm
Delivering us from tyranny and those who mean harm

Do not think that God is feeble
And think His wonders are to be ignored
We are supposed to be His people
And He is supposed to be our Lord

God will raise His mighty hand
Then non-believers will understand
That He alone is the Lord
Saving us with but a word

They may ask to be shown a miracle
Not caring if they are being difficult
Because their hearts are so stubborn
To the Lord they refuse to sojourn 

Being satisfied with counterfeits 
Refusing to concede that God’s glory exists 
Obstinately unyielding to God’s ways
Content to stay in their decay

The enemy is crafty and his forgeries seem real
But it is your soul that they’re trying to steal
Their consequences only brings destruction 
With only the Lord bringing salvation 

When God chooses to demonstrate His power 
All the enemy’s treachery will it conquer 
Then people will know He is Lord in terror 
Bowing low in worship to find His favor

If God’s glory some refuse to acknowledge 
Then the love that rivals God will be abolished 
Sacrifice your lambs and cover your doorpost
Then to the Lord may you devote 

He will save your life from certain death 
As you breathe in His holy breath 
Delivering you from captivity 
Delivered from bondage and now set free

The True Enemy

Inspired by Numbers 25 & Matthew Henry's commentary While the Israelites were camped at Acacia Grove To defile themselves the men willingly chose Seduced by Moabite women and their deities Making the Lord angry and release His fury Rapport with the wicked is more harmful than enmity It is our immoral desires that is the true enemy Giving into worldly interests and its pleasures Forgetting to put the Lord at our core and center Let us execute His vengeance in zeal and faith To remain in His good graces and holy estate So God may make a special covenant of peace And His divine favor upon us may increase God punishes the wicked not with a rod But with swords exposing their profane facade Punishing those who tempt others to fail While His righteousness will always prevail

More Than Conquerers

Inspired by Matthew Henry's  commentary  on Numbers chapter 21 Before our march to the Promised Land We may find ourselves in enemy's hands But let us look thoroughly to the Lord Our only way to keep moving forward So instead of Arad, we have Hormah As the enemy's sins are enormous God will bring about their destruction His love for His children brings protection But as we continue on our journey We can be impatient and be in a hurry Then complain about the Lord's provision Bringing about the Lord's derision The serpent comes back to bite at our heels Making our grievances his meal Our very lives does he greedily steal Making us look up so we can be healed Look up and see the serpent of bronze Do not fear death that corresponds The venom may stir up our sinful passions But only the Lord can bring salvation Do not forget and always remember When God blessed us with living water Our expectations should be tempered And only rely on His Grace and His Favor Wicked men tr...
