When I contemplate My lord's grace of salvation and redemption by grace enabled and by faith received, my heart is lifted in joy and my praise rises to my Father's holy throne of glory -

Frederick Kwesi Great Agboletey

 

My heart is lifted up

 

 

My heart is lifted up in love,

In great appreciation of God’s blessings;

Eternal love pouring upon me without cessation

My spirit is enlarged in His awesome glory and grace

Made manifest in Christ my Lord and Saviour

I am so filled with joy that I give praise for His name's sake

My entire being is strengthened in Him and in His restoration and salvaging grace –

 

Sicknesses and afflictions my Lord has borne away,

Filling me with life renewed and assured for eternity in my Saviour

For His kingdom has come and it is a life giving renewal of pleasant blessings,

Most wonderful is reviving sound of precious blood most sacrosanct

Pouring forth from His feet, bringing salvation in overpowering redemption

I delight in my Lord and His great blessings of grace immeasurable

I am sealed in covenant of grace, blessings of prosperity without measure

For my Lord’s sake, covenanted are assured blessings filling my life with life –

 

His love is not taken away from me because of wilful disobedient who lack insight

Persistence of disobedience does not deny truth of Christ’s salvation come into being,

His love and His saving grace available for all who obey loving God

For God’s covenant are forever unbreakable;

“Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass away”

How much more covenant sealed in Blood most Holy of Beloved Son?

I am perfected in obedience, for all my lack, in Him my Lord and Saviour are fulfilled –

 

Darkness flees before light of life, in Christ Jesus made manifest

The judge of Creation who stood by Father’s side in dawn of Creation

Come to relieve, offering pardon to redeem rather than condemn

Truth is given full expression in light,

Light of life that conquers darkness and its vile deceptions

Falsehood is fleeced of its thin veil of deception hiding corruptions works of death

In light of life that comes to save creation in rebirth of Blood of Lamb of God –

 

 

Thou, O Jehovah, appoint your children unto victory in Christ the Saviour

Victory waving banners of joy over falsehood in Christ's loving light of redemption

Exposing beauty of life restored in Life’s Creator

Death forever debunked of its futile threat,

For He who has keys of life and death is giving forth life,

Blessed life enduring in blessed Saviour; Life’s very guardian

Blessing His Children with renewal and blessings without limitations

Eternity given unto obedient children restored in grace –

 

You call unto all men and receive all who heed your call

You preserve your creation,

Giving life eternal in Christ to all who heed call of salvation’s Lord

You save souls that would otherwise be lost,

Pulling forth from pit of destruction soul of lost men wandering

You save lost souls of men

Retrieving ignorant men from destructions’ stranglehold in a word

Your name, O Jesus, is salvation's call of triumph –

 

Jehovah, your word in Christ is forever established,

Your covenant in blood most sacrosanct of your Beloved Son

Our Lord and Saviour is forever established

Your will is perfection in Christ given unto men

For your will is perfection, never changing,

Given by grace, enabled By Holy Spirit

That men are taught by spirit of truth in wisdom –

 

So that what is given out of God’s great love

Is fully understood in its full measure,

Your ways are established in truth,

Never changing, your word, is hope gone forth

In the name of Jesus Christ to redeem your children

Obedient children of God, who discard vanity and falsehood,

Obeying call of their creator

In obedience are they gathered into Father’s fold –

 

God’s grace unconditional is Christ come to redeem

Shining truth in words of life

Breathing light of reason incontestable unto willing ears

Stripping corruption’s deception of vanity and its entrapments

Deception’s never stable, shifting stories of irrelevance,

Has glorious presence of Christ cast aside

Inspiration coming from Holy Spirit breathing truth

In knowledge coming from Creation's source of life

Praise and great joy in Christ unto magnificent Father, Jehovah of Hosts –

 

Halleluja, Amen -
