"In Heavenly Places"
"In heavenly places"--can it be
This glorious promise is for me?
Raised up by Heaven's boundless might,
To sit with Christ in realms of light
In heavenly places?
O wondrous love, that paid the price
Redemption claimed, by sacrifice
Of God's own Son! What bitter cup
My Saviour drank to lift me up
To heavenly places!
Up from a life defiled by sin,
Washed in His blood, made pure within,
Robed in His righteousness, freed of blame,
Fitted to bear my Saviour's name
In heavenly places.
Joint heir with Christ, I sit with Him,
I walk and talk and work with Him;
Above this world, sin's battlefield,
I rest in Him, His truth my shield,
In heavenly places--
In Christ Jesus.
--Bessie Mouont
"But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus."--Eph 2:4-6.
It is our privilage to draw nigh to God, to breath in the atmostphere of His presence... Nothing short
of abiding in the presence of Christ will bring peace,freedom, courage, and power.
I hope everyone will have a wonderful day of living "In Heavenly Places."
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings
in heavenly places in Christ."--Eph 1:3.
