Album 5: Lover of My Soul - Remix (Lyrics & Video)

Listen here

Soundtrack here

No matter where I go, or what I do,

Through storms and rain, even the deepest of pains,

He’s directing my path, carefully guiding me with His eye,

Teaching me to laugh, when life says, ‘Cry!’

Showing me there’s no way His Love can be earned,

Or for my sin I could ever pay. There’s one thing I’ve learned:

He’s been The Lover of My Soul.

         Jesus is The Lover of my Soul, of my soul, of my soul.

All the world needs to know why He came.

Father said, ‘Go! Remove sin’s guilt and shame!’

I’m wondering if this you know; tell me if you’ve heard.

The GREATEST story written is in His Word!

Are you lost in life’s wilderness; lost your grip that once was firm?

Overwhelmed with loneliness? This one thing I affirm:

He wants to be The Lover of Your Soul.

Jesus is The Lover of your soul

And when life’s last breath I will have taken,

My world will not be rocked, nor will it be shaken.

I’ll encounter His angels, dispatched as my escort,

From the grip of earth’s cares, to Heaven’s inner court.

There, before Him, my knees I’ll bow that day,

But He’ll lift me, hug me, and joyfully say:

‘Now I’ll be forever The Lover of Your Soul!’

Jesus is The Lover of my Soul, of my soul, of my soul, of my soul..

So, who is He, this GREAT Lover of whom I speak?

He’s Alpha and Omega; let’s end the mystique!

He is Jesus Christ, First Son of God, Ancient of Days.

Rose of Sharon, Bright Morning Star, creation’s highest praise.

        

Come closer, I’ll introduce you to Him who knew  , before you.

He’ll forgive your sins, and into His clan He will even adopt you!

Jesus is The Lover of your Soul

Then, He’ll forever be ….The Lover of YOUR soul!

Lover of your Soul

I’m coming again (He’s coming again)

Said that I would

I’m gonna reign (He’s gonna reign)

Tell me are you ready

I’m coming back (He’s coming back)

You should know that I am

I’ll reign all over the world (He’ll reign all over the world. Yes He will) 

I’ll reign all over the world (He’ll reign all over the world)

He’s gonna reign, (He’s gonna reign. He’s gonna reign)

Said that He would

We don’t know when (We don’t know when)

C’mon let’s get ready

He’s gonna reign (He’s gonna reign. His Word says He will)

He will reign (He’ll reign all over the world)

Yes, He will reign (He’ll reign all over the world)

Friend, please listen to this, My story (Please listen)

My time is drawing so near (So near)

I will soon leave My home in glory

So please lend me your ear (Lend me your ear)

I’ll be coming in the clouds, with majestic glory

Angels before Me, My Church by My side (And I will be with Him)

Every eye will see Me. What an awesome story

This the reason I died (Why He died)

I’m coming back again (He’s coming again)

Said that I would

In My Book I wrote it (Tell me did you read it?)

You don’t know when (He’s coming back)

But you should count on it

You can take Him at His Word (You can take Him at His Word)

Yes you can. You can take Him at His Word (You can take Him at His Word)

I’ll be coming with Him, and with Him I will reign (With Him I will reign)

If you really know Him, you can say the same

His return is closer than ever before (So much closer)

To Him every knee will bow (Every knee will bow)

So my warning don’t ignore

He’s coming back (He’s coming back)

Said that He would

He’s coming again (He’s coming again. C’mon let’s stay ready)

We’re gonna reign (We’re gonna reign)

The redeemed in Jesus Christ

   

(We’ll reign all over the world)

We’re gonna reign, all over, all over the world

(We’re gonna reign all over the world)

We’re gonna reign with Christ over the world

Think about that…

(We’ll reign all over the world)

We’ll reign. We’re gonna reign. I’m gonna reign. Will you be there?

(We’re gonna reign all over the world)

We’re gonna reign with Christ over the world

Will you be there?

(We’ll reign all over the world)

We’ll reign. Oh yes. For one thousand years we will

(We’re gonna reign all over the world)

With Christ we’ll reign over the world

Ho! Ho! Ho! (Poem)

Yep, it’s Christmastime, and many of us look forward,

To the jolly sound of ‘Ho, Ho, Ho!’ from Santa Claus.

But with any of that, many just can’t be bothered,

Can’t greet this season with a rip-roaring applause.

If this is you, here’s something to contemplate.

It’s something that may help you to get in the flow.

Hopefully, it’ll help you to appreciate,

Christmastime as the season of …God’s ‘Ho, Ho, Ho!’

Some 7 centuries before the first Christmas Day,

God put His salvation ‘Ho!’ on full display! ¹

Then when His people completed their Babylon stay,

‘Ho! Ho!’ (twice) He said, meaning, ‘Up, up, away!’ ²

See? Notions of Santa from Jesus have been stolen.

The roots of Santa’s favorite quips are thus exposed!

But ONE thing remains safe, through Isaiah bespoken:

The magnanimity of God’s gifts in Christ, disclosed.

Isaiah foretold of gifts so unique,

That God would one day send to you and me.

Let’s crack open his book and take a peek.

Here’s the trio of special gifts I see.

The first is an everlasting covenant,

That God in His own blood would personally sign.

Then add God’s thoughts in our hearts, not on parchment,

Thoughts that would shape in us His beautiful design.

Finally, there are the twin gifts of Joy and Peace:

Peace that flows like a river; Joy that’s

…indescribable!

The first gift assures the others will never cease!

Together, this triple set is

…unsurpassable!

God says…

‘Listen carefully to Me. Eat what I give.

Let your soul delight itself in abundance.
Come. Incline your ear. Hear, and your soul shall live.’

Soul food …in your ears, to nourish your essence. ⁴

Does this overwhelm the world’s views of Christmas?

Undeniably!

¹ ‘Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price…’ (Isaiah 55:1, speaking spiritually and figuratively) Ho! is used to attract attention, and as an exclamation of surprise and delight.   

² ‘Ho, ho, come forth, and flee/run away from Babylon, says The Lord…’ (Zechariah 2:6, KJV and NCV)

³ See: Isaiah 55:2-3, poetically paraphrased. Your essence is your eternal spirit.

The J-519 Life (Poem)

 ‘Most assuredly, I say to you,

Cause I go to My Father, you who in Me believe,

The things that I did, you, too, shall do.

Even greater works than these, you also shall achieve.’ ¹

Good News in our world that’s increasingly a wreck?

In these perilous times, a lot is at stake!

Pause a moment, and in your life do a Fact Check.

See if in your life, this is Good News or Fake.

Many good works He did on His ministry circuit,

Enhancing the lives of those He encountered.

Regarding all our human needs, He touched the gamut!

Our world sure could use His works now …outnumbered!

                             

Not only did He promise we’d do His works and more.

First He showed, then told us exactly how He did them.

Come! Let’s step across the threshold of His

‘workshop door’,

And learn to apply His approach to our world’s mayhem.

Many hours He spent in prayer at night,

Uploading to Father the cares of His world,

Downloading the Father’s power and might,

To overcome devilish deeds at Him hurled.

During the day, He then worked to release,

God’s power that, in prayer, to Him was rallied.

When He needed that power to increase,

He’d pause, wait a moment, and then proceed.²

Across the 4 Gospels, that is what He showed us.

But only in one verse did He reveal His ‘how-to’.

Only in one verse is it clear what He told us.

‘Only what I see Him doing, that is what I do.’ ³

What a seemingly clear modus operandi,

With which we could really change our entire world!

If only we could all learn it, and then apply,

We’d thwart devil’s attacks that at man are hurled.

Prayer, first like discharging a battery.

(Uploading cares…)

Prayer, then like a full power charge in the night.

(Downloading might!)

Here is what you get using His strategy:

Power, stored for your release …in tomorrow’s fight!

And in that fight, you will never be alone.

Walking in His Spirit, this is what you will perceive:

Previews of scenes on earth, sent from Heaven’s Throne,

Into which you should step, His power from you to leave.

To you does this all sound strange, even taboo??

You, releasing God’s Love power and might

into scenes foreseen??

What you ‘see’ Him doing, that is what you do?!?

Our world needs you, Christ-believer, to live

…per ‘J-519’.

----------

¹ ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.’ (John 14:12)

² For example, writing on the ground, pausing to pray, asking questions, etc.)

³ Then Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees The Father do; for whatever He does, The Son also does in like manner.’ (John 5:19, or poetically, J-519)

Nighttime Light (Poem)

‘Raise your rod…!’, God told Moses on that day,

This, a seed of power He’d soon display.

Moses did exactly what He was told.

Re. the rest, a bill of goods we’ve been sold.

In the great movie, The Ten Commandments,

There are pivotal missing components,

About how pharaoh attacked his freed slaves.

This warps understandings of how God saves.

Egypt’s army found their slaves and Moses,

Backed up against the Red Sea, defenseless.

So to overtake the slaves, there was no rush:

‘Let’s rest. Tomorrow their rebellion we’ll crush!’

Between the two camps, God dispatched a cloud.

One side gave Light, the other, darkness to shroud.

In Light, Moses ‘planted’ the seed that God had given.

O’er the Red Sea, he raised his rod amid confusion.

T’was night, not day, that God prepared their escape route,

Just when, before their enemy, they had freaked out.

By morning, they were all safe and dry on the other side. 

They saw the army’s dead bodies washed up

by waves of tide. 

Friend, there’s a lesson in this story that’s easily missed.

I’ll tell you what I see so you can quickly get the gist.

When your lying enemy thinks he’s worn you out,

God sends Light to show His escape routes ‘in the night’.

It’s the quiet of night when He can get through

to your spirit,

So you can see and hear Him say,

‘This is The Way; walk in it.’

The Light you’ll see is His spiritual insight,

So from spiritual enemies, you can take your flight.

But if it’s for you to stay and fight, you’ll be the victor,

And perceive your enemy ‘washed up’ on victory’s shore.

But walking in The Spirit, which is God’s preferred way, 

You can receive His ‘nighttime Light’ ...even in the day.
