Pride
My believers you show tonight the pride you have in your nation
Standing against the attacks from inside and outside while keeping your station
Never wavering from the weight of what is constantly at hand
Steadfast in your love for one another you come against evil and take your stand
Pride comes before the fall if not preceded by the love of My word
So with love in your heart take back this nation with pride and heaven’s sword
Every memory you have of what could be will flood your daily life
Until you set love above all and with pride shut down all of evil’s strife
This is the generation of recovery where restoration will be made to all My believers
Too long you have allowed evil to take a place of prominence set before you by deceivers
Walk out your pride in this country with your worship and your remembered songs
Every time you see good, call it out, and come against all the wrongs
One by one the pride you display will capture the hearts and minds of the lost
And they will see that pride must be displayed no matter what the cost
I Am is the common denominator and this nation will have an encounter like never before
Pride will rise up in the hearts of the majority and all the good of the past will be restored
Stand your ground each and every time you are challenged to go the wrong way
Hold on to your pride and use it as a shield for it is your guardian that will stay
(Psa 20:7 NRSV) Some take pride in chariots, and some in horses, but our pride is in the name of the LORD our God.
(Isa 4:2 NRSV) On that day the branch of the LORD shall be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be the pride and glory of the survivors of Israel.
(Mark 7:20 – 23 NRSV) 20 – And he said, “It is what comes out of a person that defiles. 21 – For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, 22 – adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. 23 – All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
(2 Cor 7:4 NRSV) I often boast about you; I have great pride in you; I am filled with consolation; I am overjoyed in all our affliction.
(Gal 6:2 – 5 NRSV) 2 – Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 – For if those who are nothing think they are something, they deceive themselves. 4 – All must test their own work; then that work, rather than their neighbor’s work, will become a cause for pride. 5 – For all must carry their own loads.
(Heb 3:6 NRSV) Christ, however, was faithful over God’s house as a son, and we are his house if we hold firm the confidence and the pride that belong to hope.
