Time and Space Encircling Me

Time and Space Encircling Me

 

Time and space encircling me

You came to save and set me free

That I might find eternity

Forever there your glory see

 

Guide me Lord within this life

To lay aside all doubt and strife

That I might live eternity

Fix my eyes your face to see

 

You came to earth to bear my pain

To wash away my sin laid stain

My hope now based eternity

Forever there Your love to see

 

Teach me Lord, draw me near

That I proclaim for all to hear

The Joy you share, eternity

Salvation’s song for blind to see

Titus 2: ¹¹ For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,¹² Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;¹³ Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;¹⁴ Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

When trials, sorrows, loneliness, rejections come upon us in the world; we need to keep our eyes focused upon Christ our Savior and our King.  All sorrow or pain on this earth is but a second in time compared to eternity with HIm.  There is no sorrow too great to endure for the salvation of one soul.  You do not know but what the trial you are enduring at this very moment may be the key God uses to save another as they watch your faith unfold before them.  Keep your eyes fixed upon Your Only Hope, Your Exceeding Joy, and Your Truest Love—which is Christ Jesus.
