He was a nazarite
For the Lords work, set apart
His parents couldn't believe
To a philistine woman he'd give his heart

They could not see the bigger picture
Written by The divine hand
God was seeking an occasion
To set his people free was the plan



Judges 14:4. But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
Bands of love (Hosea 11:14)
Fastened tight
So tightly bound
Both day and night (Psalm 1:2)

Not cords of vanity (Isaiah 5:18)
Or fetters of sin
Bound by the Lord
His love within

Unable to hate
forgiveness for all
A bondslave of love
Free from the law (Ex 21:5-6)

Sanctified, perfect and holy
Meet for the masters plan (2 Tim 2:21)
Furnished unto all good works (2 Tim 3:17)
Clay in the potter's hand (Jer 18:6)

Separation from the World

Luke 6:26  (Jesus said)  Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you!


On the first day
God divided light from dark
It was very good (Gen 1:4)
His plan from the start

He called the light day
And the dark he called night
They couldn't be together
That wouldn't be right

If you seek a country,
A heavenly one (Heb 11:10)
Built and made by God (Heb 11:14)
Founded on the Son

You will find yourself separate
By others' choice
They don't want to listen
Or hear God's voice

Moses esteemed not
The riches of Egypt (Heb 11:27)
He chose to suffer the reproach
Instead of enjoying sin for a season

In Hebrews 11
Men of faith are found
They were strangers and pilgrims
Not like others around (Heb 11:13)

So what should you do?
Children of the day?
Put on love, faith, hope
And always WATCH and PRAY
(1 Thess 5:8)

It's time to make an offering
And time to pay a vow
What does the Lord require of you?
What will please the Lord right now?

Maybe offering a bullock
Or maybe a wild beast
He will not drink the blood of goats (Psalm 50)
Or on the flesh of bulls feast

He wants something not everyone will give
They may be too ashamed
He wants the calves of your lips (Hosea 14:2)
Shouting glory to His name

The disciples cried out To Jesus(Luke 19:38)
The children in the temple did too (Matt 21:15)
The Pharisees wanted Jesus to stop them
The devil wants to stop you

A simple to understand reply
Jesus answered quick
Out of the mouths of babes
Praise has been made perfect

David loved to sing
He danced out of his clothes (2 Sam 6:20)
He knew the power and strength
that praise and thanksgiving holds

When Jehoshaphat went to battle (2 Chr 20)
He didn't send the army first
Instead sent singers praising
In God he put his trust

Lifting up of holy hands
As the evening sacrifice (Psalms 141:2)
Moses, Joshua, Ezra, David
They knew this was right

What else can we offer
To the One who made all things
He has the cattle on a thousand hills
Lord of Lords and King of Kings!

When you get to the place
The Lord promised you in this land
You will rejoice in whatever you put your hands to
Whatsoever is right in the eyes of every man (Deut.12)

You will dwell there in safety
No concerns of the enemy
You heart fixed upon the Lord (Psalm 112:7-8)
What can man do unto thee?

You may eat whatever you lust for
Whether it be clean or unclean
It's not what goes into the body,
What comes out of your heart is what God sees (Mark 7:15)

Bring your tithes and all your offerings
We now only have one thing to give
He wants the "calves of your lips" (Hosea 14:2)
Your praise and thanksgiving for the eternal life you will live

Twelve men stood on the border
Gazing at the promise land
They had a job ahead of them
Given from Moses a command

They went all over the land
To spy out the towns
The inhabitants were giants
Fruit was abundantly found

The men gave their report
The Israelites were so afraid
This land seemed impossible
They wished in Egypt they'd have stayed

The wanted to chose another leader
And stone the two that disagreed
Joshua and Caleb believed Gods promise
They weren't about to flee

They knew that God was on their side
He parted the red sea for them
The others had forgotten
And were ready to give in

We are standing at the edge
Of the promise land
Trusting our God is faithful
Obeying his commands

Oh, the promise land!
I want to enter in
There is a place of rest there
To escape from this world's sin
Joshua 1
A couple tribes have found
Their home in the promise land
Their lives are now at peace
A gift straight from God's hand

But Joshua calls them To help fight
With the brothers that haven't entered in
That do not have that place of rest yet
That God promised them

They leave their wives and children
To pick up the sword
When the land has all been conquered
They'll be free to enjoy

All of Gods many blessings
Peace all around
A land that's overflowing
Milk and honey will be found

We must strive to find that same rest (Hebrews 4)
That is offered to us today
We can cease from our own works as God did the seventh day

A place where things in this life
No longer move you
You are safely trusting God's plan
Letting His love guide you through
