The universe of God consists

The universe of God consists Of heaven, earth, and air. The enemy of God resists His purpose everywhere. At first the mighty rebel one The earth from God obtained; Then from the Lord the air had won, Establishing his reign. |

So God’s intention was to gain His kingdom on the earth, The place where He could fully reign And show to all His worth. Thus He began in Genesis To forward His great plan. Out of this darkened, lost abyss Our God created man. |

But Satan caused the man to fall From God’s eternal grace. Then Abraham received the call To head the chosen race. The Jews were led from Pharaoh’s hand Through sea and wilderness Into the promised Canaan land, God’s kingdom to express. |

The Israelites refused God’s reign, Desired an earthly king; The kingdom then was lost again Till David was to bring God’s kingdom back to earth once more For God to rule through him; But Israel failed as once before God’s kingdom to bring in. |

Such was the situation when Our God became a man, Declaring to all men,“Repent! The kingdom is at hand.” A perfect model of God’s rule, The King, full qualified! But Satan as a desperate fool Had Jesus crucified. |

This Jesus went into the grave And death He overcame. Now resurrected He will save The earth from Satan’s reign. He as the Spirit enters man To fill him with His life. These men, the church, fulfill His plan To save the earth from strife. |

Now on the earth the church we see, God’s kingdom here expressed, Where He has full authority His rule to manifest. The place where Satan has to flee Our mighty conquering rod, The kingdom through the church will be Brought to the earth for God. |

This song shows us God's plan, how wonderful to see him working out the type in the Old Testament with Israel and the reality in the New Testament with the Church

Oh, thanks to Him, for His intention to gain back His kingdom on earth. The place where He could fully reign.
Oh God, You're worthy to be praised.
