My old self, destroyed mind and will,
All were crucified on the cross into Jesus Christ’s death.
Now I live a new life to God’s glory.
The power of living come into me,
And I am living it through faith in Jesus Christ,
Who is able to do anything He promises.
I choose to obey God,
Live a righteous life,
To be holy
And hope in eternity.
The Lord opens His arsenal,
Equip me to fight and restore.
And send His armies to destroy His enemies.
To show His great love to all who are oppressed. (Jeremiah 50:25)
Those who are righteous will go free. (Proverbs 11:21b)
God is able to do whatever He promises. (Romans 4:21)
I trust in the Name of the Lord our God.
He answer me when I call,
Through the saints’ help.
I feel His love and care,
Right in the midst of distress and false.
His right hand grants me support,
Anoint me to rise up, shine and stand firm.
I recall and give praise to God.
His promises are deeper rooted in my faith,
So I never forget and wander to be devoured (Jeremiah 50:6).
I shall shout for joy for He is with me,
No man or evil can hurt me.
All my desires of God shall prosper and be accomplished in me,
Through the mighty blood and name of Christ Jesus.
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. (Psalm 20:7)

As Elisha devotes to follow God in His timing,
I let no evil stop me from serving my beloved God.
Continue to pray as a warrior,
For I owe my life totally to Him.
The lie comes by to whisper,
Try to stop me from overcoming it.
I cling to God more tightly,
And see the victory Hi commands for me,
Through the blood and Name of Jesus Christ,
Written in the nailed palm of His mighty hand.
A set free conqueror,
Over sin and death and evil,
I am the champion of life,
Rejoice to run my course,
Like a planet rotating on the orbit,
Designed by His vast knowledge,
To display His infinite glory.
The Law of God, invisible, inaudible,
But effectively draws me close to Him,
Even closer than my old self.
Nothing can come between He and me,
For all voices and obstacles are pushed behind
To the far away black hole of silence,
As He commands them to be quiet.
God and me,
Are holding hands,
Dancing with all His beloved saints,
Who come across to interact,
By His orderly decrees,
In worshiping with peace and joy to never end.
God’s promise to Abraham long ago,
Assures me through faith to nowadays:
By the blood of Jesus Christ,
I am made right in His eyes.
By His Holy Spirit of love,
I am empowered to love,
Never waver, keep hoping,
My faith grows stronger,
To bring Him glory.
I rejoice,
For He made me His friend.
I conquer and rule,
For He made me alive and victorious.
(Romans 4)
Moonlight sparkles on your little boat,
Gently calming the ocean waves.
The numerous stars accompany above your head,
Even the darkness will not be dark,
Your night is shining like the day.
Your moonlit faith is as strong as the sunlit grace.
As the sun of Jesus Christ never falls,
Always arises above the horizon of your course,
So your moonlit faith,
Is reflecting from His gracious sun rays,
For you to bring light to the dark cave,
Echoing his loving voice,
To call the lost to Him,
Who saves.
Your path of His righteousness,
Paved by the blood of Jesus Christ,
Is shining ever brighter till the full light of day,
All through your moonlit faith.
even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. (Psalm 139:12)
The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:18)
To Father God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit
Thank you for speaking,
Your voice of victory.
I hear and gain strength,
In loving you with all my heart.
Thank you for the new day.
I see your smile as warm and bright as the sunshine,
To expel the cold, ark and gloom,
Ignite my soul to advance,
More and more, higher and higher
After your footstep,
Secure, firm,
With peace and joy.
I choose to believe in You,
Who is my Prince of peace,
Calm down the waves of storms,
Anchor me in Your promises.
I choose to believe in You,
Who tends my needs
And quench my thirst.
I choose to believe in You,
Who leads me to secure harbor.
God conquers the sin and death,
Reaches down from on high,
Saves me from my falls.
God brings me into spacious place,
Delights In me and shows me grace.
God keeps my light burning,
By the power of the Holy Spirit.
God turned my darkness into light,
Shines force His might.
God trains me to scale a wall,
And advance with force.
God shields me by the blood of Jesus Christ,
And sustains me, exalts me above my foes.
No one can stop me, from now on.
For I choose to believe,
In God I abide indeed.
(Psalm 18)
