Confident Expectation
Folder:
The Word of God We have a confident expectation, that’s in the God of our Salvation,
As pilgrims and strangers on earth, sanctified and lead by new birth.
We’re elected God’s chosen seed, with a message all nations need,
By the foreknowledge of the One, who gave us salvation in His Son.
We’re here to live a glorious way, in pain and suffering, night or day,
In a world full of sin and suffering, we can rejoice in Christ our King,
With eyes focused on Him above, He comforts our heart in His love,
As God moves us within this life; living testimonies for Jesus Christ.
Believers are saved and justified, with lives to live so God’s glorified,
Through new birth into a living hope, He gives us grace to daily cope.
We can lift to Christ Eternal Praise, as we live out these earthly days,
As we are called out of the world, with eternal hope in God to herald.
We’re now pilgrims and strangers, with God helping us in all dangers,
Kept through the Power of God, as sojourners upon this earthly sod.
Although we grieve through a trial, the testing will last for only awhile,
As we are refined like gold in fire, purified for purposes much higher,
Christ fills us with anticipation, as we progress through sanctification,
With an inheritance that won’t fade, in the promise which Christ made.
The salvation which we embrace, shall soon take us to a higher place,
As Heaven’s our final destination, as the capstone of God’s salvation.
