Power of God's Sword
Granted with life everlasting through the Spirit’s sword*
I’m indeed born again by God’s Word.
As quickened by the spiritual sword miraculously
My soul yearns to be revived for meaningful existence blissfully.
Constantly, I strive to please the Lord by faith, led by the Holy Spirit
Enlivened by His empowering truth, the Scriptures’ writ.
Worshiping Christ, exalting the Saviour midst praise-filled gratitude
My spirit abides in Him, cleaving to His sword to vanquish evil’s magnitude.
Hence, when carnality prevails hindering my service of compassion-gestures
I yield to the sword of the Spirit that can mortify selfish ventures.
*Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
