Lyrics

Inheritance of Promise

Verse 1

In Ur of the Chaldeans, under ancient skies,
A call rang forth, both profound and wise.
“Leave your land,” said the Lord, “to a place I will show,
In you, all families of earth shall be blessed and grow.”

Chorus

Yahweh, our Promise, in You we trust,
Through Abraham’s seed, Your covenant just.
Nations will rise, in Your love they’ll stand,
Inheritance of promise, in Your holy land.

Verse 2

Through deserts and trials, Abraham walked in faith,
Believing the Word, with each step he saith.
“Count the stars, so shall your offspring be,”
A multitude born, in them, God’s glory we see.

Chorus

Yahweh, our Promise, in You we trust,
Through Abraham’s seed, Your covenant just.
Nations will rise, in Your love they’ll stand,
Inheritance of promise, in Your holy land.

Bridge

Father of many, a legacy divine,
Through Isaac, through Jacob, Your purposes align.
A covenant unbroken, a promise so true,
In every generation, Your mercies anew.

Chorus

Yahweh, our Promise, in You we trust,
Through Abraham’s seed, Your covenant just.
Nations will rise, in Your love they’ll stand,
Inheritance of promise, in Your holy land.

Outro

From age to age, Your promises endure,
In Your faithfulness, our hope is secure.
Inheritance of promise, a destiny grand,
In You, our God, we take our stand.

      Devotion for “The Ancient Struggle”

      Scripture Focus:

      Deuteronomy 32:8-9, Psalm 82

      Reflection:

      “The Ancient Struggle” invites us to contemplate the profound and often unseen spiritual realities that scripture reveals. Deuteronomy 32:8-9 speaks of a time when the Most High divided the nations and set boundaries for peoples according to the number of the sons of God. This passage, alongside Psalm 82, provides a glimpse into the divine council and the distribution of nations among heavenly beings.

      However, amidst this cosmic division, Israel is set apart as Yahweh’s own portion, a people chosen for a unique relationship with God. This distinction is not just geopolitical; it is deeply spiritual. Israel’s story is a testament to God’s sovereignty and His desire for a people who would know Him intimately.

      Meditation and Prayer:

      • Reflect on the sovereignty of God over all nations and spiritual powers. How does this understanding shape our view of God’s plan for humanity?
      • Consider the uniqueness of Israel’s calling. How does this inform our understanding of God’s purposes for His people today?

      Further Study:

      • Explore the concept of the divine council in Psalm 82 and its implications for our understanding of spiritual realities.
      • Research the historical context of Deuteronomy 32 and its significance in Israelite history.

      Intercession:

      • Pray for a deeper revelation of God’s sovereignty in your life and in the world.
      • Intercede for the nations, that they might come to recognize the one true God and His plan for salvation through Jesus Christ.

      Application:

      • In what ways can you align your life more closely with God’s sovereign plan?
      • Consider how you can be an intercessor for the nations, standing in the gap for those who do not yet know God.

      This devotion is designed to offer depth and insight into the spiritual themes presented in “The Ancient Struggle,” encouraging mature intercessors to delve deeper into scripture and engage in thoughtful prayer and intercession.

      Lyrics

      The Ancient Struggle

      Verse 1

      In the realms of the heavens, before time began,
      Elohim in their splendor, a divine plan.
      Yet above all, in majesty, reigns Yahweh so high,
      Creator, Sustainer, on Him we rely.

      Chorus

      Yahweh, Almighty, above all Elohim,
      Your glory, Your majesty, in our hearts reign supreme.
      In Your wisdom, You chose us, a people, Your own,
      In worship, we honor You, before Your throne.

      Verse 2

      Through the ages, the struggle, unseen yet so real,
      Yet Your power, O God, before You, all kneel.
      In Your hands, the earth’s kingdoms, Your plans, they unfold,
      In Your love, a story of grace told.

      Chorus

      Yahweh, Almighty, above all Elohim,
      Your glory, Your majesty, in our hearts reign supreme.
      In Your wisdom, You chose us, a people, Your own,
      In worship, we honor You, before Your throne.

      Bridge

      Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty,
      Early in the morning, our song shall rise to Thee.
      With angels and creation, we join the unending hymn,
      Holy, Holy, Holy, merciful and mighty!

      Chorus

      Yahweh, Almighty, above all Elohim,
      Your glory, Your majesty, in our hearts reign supreme.
      In Your wisdom, You chose us, a people, Your own,
      In worship, we honor You, before Your throne.

      Outro

      In the ancient struggle, Your love remains true,
      God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, we worship You.
      In every moment, Your promises stand,
      Yahweh, our God, leading us to the Promised Land.
