He Holds On (song)

As 2 Corinthians 13:5 says, it's worth doing a heart check every so often to make sure we're really in the faith. We certainly need to make our election sure. In that same vein, it seems we at times go through heartache to heartache, yearning for a reassurance from our General in the battlefield of love and life and levity and everything in between. (Sometimes those heartbreakers are preceded by the Holy Spirit's heart shakers that remind us we've fallen from the path and need to get back on.) Jesus is the stronger man who can not only bend a car, but plunder the strong man's house- and He sets the captive free. And sometimes He has to remind us when we come in repentance that we belong to Him. I'm SO glad to know that He is faithful even when I'm not and He holds on.

(Galatians 3, Romans 14:8, Romans 11:29, 2 Timothy 2:11-13, Jude 1:24-25, John 6 (particularly verses 35-40), 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, John 3:16-21, John 8:31-36, Mark 9:41, John 10 (particularly verses 27-30), John 1:12, John 6:44, John 15, 1 John 3 (particularly verses 16-24))

Many times The Bible tells you
Baby, Christ's called us His own
Already? I'm surprised how soon you cut out leaving Him to friend zone
Galatians- read in 3 please
You're perfected by flesh? Why'd you give up (The) Ghost so easy?
You may doubt but can't escape from Christ

We belong to The Light, we belong to The Father
We belong to The Son (and) Holy Ghost- we boast in no other
Whenever we deny, His embrace still works- so remember
We belong- no recalls- we belong to Heaven

Hey, we all have times of weakness
When we go so far astray
Baby, we just would all blow it if through our own strength anyway
Though we once were all wrath's kids- well, sin distorts the facts
Irrevocable calling
Now there's no turning back
When You say

We belong to The Christ, we belong to The Father
We belong to Spirit- we're The Lord's- read Romans 14:8
Whenever we deny, let's embrace the words of our Saviour-
All He's called- in faith respond- we belong to Saviour

Close your eyes- pray The Lord to keep now
Souls in Christ (are) held eternally!
Check the lines in John 6 and 10- Christ won't cast out called out sheep
We can't begin, uphold or lose what we didn't earn
I hear Your voice as I read- I see Your face wherever I turn
Still You say-

Read 8 John- 35th. line- The son stays forever!
We belonged to the serpent at first- we're born fallen sinners
Whomever The Son sets free from chains is free for forever!
Read along- seek The Son- come along to Heaven!
He, The Son, gave the right to become kids of The Father
Read in John 1:12- Son gave to those (who) believed (and) received Son there
Whenever (our) hearts decide we're not saved, The Lord's heart knows better
Read 1 John 3:20 on- believe The Son- love others
We're in palms of The Christ- He holds on for forever!

Biblical (song)

A lot of devils have gone out into the world-a lot of false prophets are out in the world. And we must always be on our guard. Test the spirits and see whether they're from God or not. In a world of constant communication and instant information to access, there is a lot of misinformation out there as well. And we must be able to tell The Truth from all the lies. The spiritual world that's unseen definitely affects our physical world. And while we're out in it, let's get Biblical and know The Scriptures which are able to make us wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

(Deuteronomy 4:2 and 6:1-25 and 12:32 and 13:1-4 and 18:14-22, Revelation 22:18-19, The book of Jude, Romans 12:1-2, Galatians 1:1-9, Joshua 1:1-9, Romans 16:17-20, 1 John 4:1-6, 2 Corinthians 11:13-15, 1 Peter 5:8-11, Matthew 7:15-20, Matthew 24:4-14 and 24:21-28, Ezekiel 13:6, Ezekiel 22:25-28, Psalms 119:9-11, John 8:32-36, Ephesians 6, 2 Peter 2:1-22, Matthew 13:1-43, Acts 17:10-11, Proverbs 30:5-9, 2 Timothy 1:14 and 2:15)

You're saying all the things that you know I'll like- flattery, smooth conversation
I gotta hang on to Truth of Christ- I know what you seek
You twist grace to mean "sin and just do what you want"- bend Truth to subjective reading
Add something else that "God left out"- 4:2- check in Deuteronomy

Chorus
Let's get Biblical, Biblical- I wanna get Scriptural- Press it in my frontal lobe
Let me hear from God- He talks! So God, please talk! Let me hear Your Word be taught!

(Repeat Chorus)

1[One] in Galatians- read it good! If we preach different- or an angel-
A different Word- they're condemned, man- Proverbs says in 19
The Word sown- understands- grows quite a few- there grows seed on the good soil, see?
You gotta know The Word's teaching- Watch out! The wolves dress as sheep!

Chorus 2
Let's get Biblical, Biblical- I wanna get Scriptural- Press it in my frontal lobe
Let men all have lying talk, but God- He's true. Let me hear His Word be taught.

(Repeat Chorus 2)

So don't get cynical, quizzical- I wanna get spiritual- Let The Holy Spirit show
Let we read 1 John 4:1- 'cause God- He taught- Test spirits- From God or not?

They're heretical animals- roaring, evil lion-o! Read it in Ezekiel!
22- The Word- it talks! Our God's distraught- Let we heed our God- He talks!

Let we hear our God- He talks!
Let we hear Your Word be taught!
