Great Escape

Geared by God, greeting gracious glow Ready is my spirit for rejuvenation revival Empowered to exalt Him with praise ecstasy Ascending against apprehending arrogance Triumphant toward thanksgiving trust. Extricated from exhausting selfish expedition Settled is my soul, secured by the Saviour Chained and clasped around His clemency Attaining faith-affirmed service approval Pursuing heavenly profits, perfectly precious Exchanging the ephemeral for the eternal*. 1Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
