Be Grateful For a Kingdom That Can'T Be Shaken - Hebrews 12: 25-29
A warning here is given to all
don't refuse the one that speaks
for those on earth did so at their peril
from heaven now warns you He seeks
But God comes with a promise
for in the past, the earth was shook
now He says shaken will be heaven too
all of this comes from God's holy book
What's been said so far indicates
things will be shaken yet once more
that what's been made will be removed
so the rest will stand secure for evermore
Be filled with gratefulness to the Lord
for giving you His kingdom that stands still
unmovable, unshakeable, irresistible
this is our God, lethal sharp-edged sword
Come with reverence and awe
to truly worship this consuming fire
this is God who is eternally divine
from His power, we can always draw
("See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.")
