It was an early Saturday morning. The bright Autumn sun hadnt yet dispersed the cold October chill. My breath a mist with every exhalation. A stadium filled with men from all over. Different denominations. Different worship styles. Different churches and colors and politics and struggle. Yet all together under One Banner. Some standing. Some sitting. Some kneeling on the hard, cool concrete. Faces up to the heavens, out at the screens, down to the ground. Eyes open and closed. Hands raised and hands over hearts and hands in pockets trying to stay warm. Yet the strong bass voices belted out in absolute unity, with crystal clear meaning and purpose. The worship of our One True King: All I once held dear Built my life upon All this world reveres and wars to own All I once thought gain I have counted loss Spent and worthless now compared to this: Knowing You, Jesus. Knowing You There is no greater thing Youre my all, Youre the best Youre my joy, my righteousness And I love you, Lord Now my hearts desire is to know you more To be found in you and known as yours To possess by faith what I could not earn All-surpassing gift of righteousness Oh, to know the power of your risen life And to know You in Your sufferings To become like you in your death, my Lord So with you to live and never die It was a glimpse of eternity in the here and now. And I cant wait! Those lyrics come from Philippians 3. They echo more true for me each and every day. Come soon, Lord Jesus!
