Preserved
Each of you has a love for Me that has preserved the gifts and anointing heaven gives
To the faithful for use in blessing the rest of mankind as they live
Your health, your walk, your future will be preserved by your faith in Me
Take up your assigned task each day with joy and happiness in what you will be
A marker in the darkness to show the lost the way to go in order to be saved
You have preserved the freedom in this land and the bumpy roads have been paved
Every good thing this nation has was preserved by those willing to sacrifice their life
And take up the cause of others who are faced with great evil and strife
You advance My glory every time you love someone for who they are today
Not for who they could be tomorrow and the possibilities before them if they pray
Their hope must be preserved as they walk out their will in all they do
Comfort the lost with songs and worship that soothe their hearts and minds too
The very freedom to worship and pray has been preserved by those who came before
Stand in the face of destruction and pray for the strength to walk through the next door
This freedom must be preserved for generations to come like it has been for you
Jesus came to set all of His children free, it was something He volunteered to do
(Job 10:12 NRSV) You have granted me life and steadfast love, and your care has preserved my spirit.
(Psa 66:9 NIV) he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.
(Psa 119:93 NIV) I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life.
(Isa 49:6 KJV) And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
(Mat 9:17 NRSV) Neither is new wine put into old wineskins; otherwise, the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins are destroyed; but new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.”
