Eyes on the Prize (part 1)

 

... edification exchanged for entertainment carries a sobering price-tag!

 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 

Phil.3:14 

Oh, what a prize on which to fix our eyes

While lesser gods appeal with pleasure’s trance

And wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing cover lies

With what seems satisfying at first glance 

Oh, what a prize for us to press toward

Where Heaven waits beyond this finish line

The High Calling of Jesus Christ our Lord  

Will make each earthy sacrifice divine

Oh, what a Prize when all is said and done

If we have fought the fight, finished the race

And kept the faith, then triumph has begun

Henceforth, a crown of righteousness awaits

Oh, what a prize prayer warriors march toward

To hear ‘well done’ from Jesus Christ, the Lord
