In 100 Years and Beyond
In 100 years and beyond, God prevails
With His omnipotence everyone hails
Subduing destructive evil that ails
For triumph’s cheers against sorrows’ wails.
In 100 years and beyond, God’s peace reigns surely
Assuring His children whose faith rests in Christ truly
His calmness conquers fearful hearts sweetly
Smiting harsh crises under His control absolutely.
In 100 years and beyond, God-given freedom is enjoyed indeed
Worshiping Him is exciting, unmindful of time to exceed
Sin-slavery He can vanquish to meet every soul’s need
Spiritual hunger - He alone - with His satisfaction can feed.
In 100 years and beyond, God’s victory rules midst His bounty
Dispelling hardships causing despair, anguish and anxiety
His help enables the diligent to fight poverty
Enriching them with labor’s fruits of productivity.
In 100 years and beyond, God’s guidance keeps His believers settled
Leading them to His perfect will where they are safely handled
His wisdom directs them against being deceived and rattled
Thus, they overcome struggles tenaciously when embattled.
In 100 years and beyond, God’s holy pursuits magnify His presence
Putting to shame selfish goals of no value and sense
His standards push His followers toward noble persistence
Against worldliness that pulls them down by its alluring insistence.
In 100 Years and beyond, God’s power* exalts what’s right
Moving His stewards to do their utmost best with commitment-light
Making them to be blessings with their good works’ might
As with servants’ hearts, they praise the Lord with gratitude’s delight.
*1Corinthians 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
