And catch a gleam of glory bright;

Thanks for making the song available online.
Festac Town, Lagos, Nigeria
Lord wil lift us in every area and in every ramifications because our God owns everything including our lives, You cannot have a father who owns everything and still be wallowing in poverty, so this morning I wake up to this song from my dream and sing every words just the way I meant to sing it, believing and hoping for His words and promises to come alive in me and everything that has to do with me.. Lord, I cannot have you as Father and still be put to shame, Lord I cannot have you and still wallows in poverty, No way! I take what belongs to me in my Fathers house and I take it all by force the way the kingdom of heaven suffers violence during the days of John the Baptist until now and the violent take it by force Mathew 11:12...
So Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith on Canaan’s tableland; A higher plane than I have found, Lord, plant my feet on higher ground amen 🙏🏻
