ENDURANCE---THE LONG HAUL
Where are you
In your personal relationship with God
Are your enduring
The trials of your life
Are you loving God
Despite the troubles in your life
Are you letting him
Love you
“For everything
That was written in the past
So that through ENDURANCE
And the encouragement of the scriptures
We might have HOPE”
Romans 15:4
We are going to have problems
In this life
Of that we can be sure
So we may as well
Stick to God
So he can be there for us
And we can be there
For one another
Turning our troubles
Into blessings
Turning our problems into HOPE
“May the God
Who gives ENDURANCE and encouragement
Give you a spirit of unity
Among yourselves
As you follow Christ Jesus
So that with one heart and mouth
You may glorify the God and Father
Of our Lord Jesus Christ”
Romans 15;5 & 6
Be in it
With God
Be in it
For the long haul
ENDURE means
To carry us through
Despite our hardships
God is BUILDING
Something in you
A LIFE THAT WILL LAST
Long after you have left
This world
For you are ROCK
You have built your life
On the WORD OF GOD
NOT the word
Of man
You-me-us-
We are in it
For the long haul
NOT transitory rewards
Dear Lord
We pray for a life
BUILT on your word
A life that will last
For we KNOW
That righteousness and love ENDURES forever
“He has scattered abroad
His gifts to the poor
His righteousness ENDURES forever
His horn will be lifted high in honor” Isaiah
112:9
“Give thanks to the Lord
For he is GOOD
His life ENDURES FOREVER”
Psalm 136:1
So we know
That if we build our lives
On the WORD OF GOD
Our lives and love
Will ENDURE for the LONG HAUL
Our lives will LAST FOREVER
