Logos Ascending Lyrics

At various times, in diverse ways, God spoke to the fathers, proclaimed aloud by the prophets concerning the Son.
In Me the just shall abide, My law within.
And all who sin shall die as I live.
To Me, the souls all belong, the young and old.
The weary and the strong, the right and wrong.
Upon the world descends a force so mighty in scope, reducing the land.
The men of earth deny the source and power thereof.
Who can withstand?
And those whose names are found in the scrolls of life will be redeemed from death and the grave.

Their resurrection stands as a final plan to verify the promises of long ago.
The sign appears to test the heart.
The guard of the gates will shiver with dread.
The blood of sin flows like a stream; a symbol of death proceeds from the mind.
In celestial realms, where the heavens stand, let the bodies shine and the moons emerge.
In the gleaming skies, may the orbs arise.

Why is pleasure hard to find?
How do I attain it?
Pursuing euphoria without rhyme or measure.
My prolonged dysphoria seems so near and endless.
Feeling anhedonia; infelicity.
I have called forevermore to My God who has left the dagger by my withered side.
How will I live justly with a mental storm?
Cyclothymia!
Many years and wasted time, all experimental.
Seeking satisfaction gave guilt and isolation.
Tell me why I had to try ending all existence.
Rising from a final dream, in Him I believe.
I resent the troubles that refine.
No repose; tranquility, rest denied.
They respond: "In Christ alone I must hide."
Yet I lack the wherewithal.

Heaven's mercy, I must receive it, for justice now is near.
To give your life is a grace itself in salvation.
Lord descending in Christ ascending to break the power of fear.
And draw His people foreknown from ages eternal.
Will the Lord receive all?
Will He save the witnesses?
This ascension is filled with light.
Will He guide the sinful ones?
Heart of flesh, regeneration, sanctified apart from the world.

Heaven's mercy, I must receive it, for justice now is near.
To give your life is a grace itself in salvation.
Lord descending in Christ ascending to break the power of fear.
And draw His people foreknown from ages eternal.
At various times, in diverse ways, God spoke to the fathers, proclaimed aloud by the prophets concerning the Son.

Sit and wait; worried; serene.
Paradox is dismay minus faith.
Dawn arrives suddenly - dysthymia!
Rid me of obsession.
Give me silence and a lesson in tranquility for direction to a place (find a way to escape).
Alpha and Omega, loving kindness and compassion to many millions of ungodly turning saints (for I long to obey).
I am he who was rescued by Almighty One who predestined the entire plan of salvation, and the Way.
