A new Song written....

Here is a song I wrote after writing a paper for one of my classes. The paper was on Sanctification and while I was researching I stumbled across this cadence written by Isaac Watts. It is the first verse in the song. I thought it was so beautiful so I was inspired to write a song with it. I hope you like it oh and please do comment.


SANCTIFIED

Written by: Isaac Watts (Sweet is the Work, my God, My King Psalm 97) and Dan Nel.

Music by: Dan Nel

Sin (my worst enemy before)
Shall vex my eyes and ears no more;
My inward foes shall all be slain,
Nor Satan break my peace again.

Sweet is the work, my God, my King,
To praise Thy Name, give thanks and sing,
To show Thy love by morning light
And talk of all Thy truth at night.

We need to be sanctified like the Holy one
To become like our King
Set apart from the wicked things
To be Holy and live eternally
Sanctified, sanctified

Sweet is the day of sacred rest,
No mortal cares shall seize my breast.
O may my heart in tune be found
Like David’s harp of solemn sound!

When darkness falls we rest our heads
The dreams of Zion in our beds
The trumpets blow a crashing sound
God‘s zealous love In which were found

We need to be sanctified like the Holy one
To become like our King
Set apart from the wicked things
To be Holy and live eternally

Sanctified, sanctified
Let us be, oh sanctified

Well mate God is His own recording company. We are His lyrics and we live
accrording to his lyrics(will) for our lives, whether we choose to or not He still knows the next verse to our lives. This world is His Tour bus we are and everything else is His. God writes His favoutire verses about His Disciples. It's an adventure dude. To be in one unity with God is awsome and that is something I continually strife for everyday in the process of being sanctified. But in Him I can say I will have eternal life. And everyone can, they just need to Except Jesus Christ as their Lord and saviour.
Please feel free to continue this comment.
