“Oh, Father-God, You Chose Your Son” [#2 throne room series] (1 Corinthians 15:24-28)
O Father-God, You chose Your Son
To work ’till final task was done –
To crush all powers, authorities,
Along with principalities –Beneath His feet – Your people free,
That we might walk in liberty –
Freed up from bondage satan tries
To foist on us beneath Your skies.Christ frees us, as the Spirit moves
In quiet ways, and daily proves
Your care for all mankind, these days –
By thwarting satan’s power-plays.We find our lives, freed up by You,
Then shifted to a life made new
Beyond what we had hoped or prayed –
Or by the foolish plans we laid.For Christ, “Field Marshall” of our ranks
Sees ways and means, midst guns and tanks
Of satan’s soul-destroying ways,
To set folks free, “The Father’s way”.Freed up, invited to take part
In final task through war of art –
You hold for us life-giving ways
To dance in Christ’s redeeming plays.Thanks Father-God for this.
