Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the
                                                             glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee.  For
                                                             behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and
                                                             gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah
                                                             will arise upon thee, and His glory shall be
                                                             be seen upon thee.  And nations shall come
                                                             to thy light, and kings to the brightness of
                                                             thy rising.  Isaiah 61

 

 

 

 

                                                                  Who has known the wonder and the majesty
                                                        of My name?

                                                      Who will declare My wonders in all the earth?

                                                      Who will express My love to an unbelieving
                                                         world?

                                                       Who will stand in the midst of persecution
                                                          and speak of My glory without fear?

                                                        Who will go for Me into all the earth and
                                                            show forth My glory in power & might?

                                                        Who will stand in My presence, receive
                                                             counsel from My lips, and do all I say
                                                             and command?

                                                         Don't you know?  Don't you yet realize, My
                                                              people, I call you to a glorious calling?

                                                         I call you to be a light and a standard to the
                                                               nations.

                                                         How many through the ages have longed to
                                                               be a part of what I Am about to do in
                                                               the earth?

                                                          Think not that you have chosen Me, but I
                                                                have chosen you--

                                                           A people by grace, who are called to a
                                                                glorious calling.

                                                           Do not be burdened with the cares of your
                                                                 natural life,

                                                           But see with spiritual eyes the glory of your
                                                                  calling!

                                                           Give Me your heart, your soul, your mind--
                                                                  holding nothing back--

                                                           Then I will fulfill the vision I have given you,
                                                                   and bring forth those things you
                                                                   are destined to walk in.

                                                            I bind My people together in love.

                                                            As your hearts are knit to My heart, so will
                                                                    they be knit to one another.

                                                            I call you to rejoice and weep as one,
                                                                     bearing one another's burdens.
                                                            Serve one another as you would serve Me.

                                                            Are you not called to be servants in the
                                                                      earth?

                                                             I speak a blessing over you as I have
                                                                      called you to a glorious calling.

                                                             I will surely bless your going out and your
                                                                      coming in.

                                                             I will bless the fruit of your womb.

                                                             The things you seek you will find, and I
                                                                       will make you a blessing in the earth

                                                              This is the day I Am birthing a treasure
                                                                        in the earth:

                                                               The likeness of My Son in My people
                                                                        who are obedient and faithful to
                                                                        the end.

                                                                Yes, you are called to a glorious calling
                                                                        as vessels of honor who will
                                                                        demonstrate the life found in
                                                                        My son to the nations.
