Shoulder To Shoulder

Written for the choir at a little log church in Alaska. I wish you could hear this the way I do...

 

Shoulder to shoulder, the saints side by side

jointly assembled - each part of the Bride

Victory shall come to all that will fight

we’ll know every member arrayed in pure white

 

 

Our battle soon over, long day will be done

With Jesus before us, eternity won

Our shepherd determined, no compromise here

her vision so perfect, to all then so clear

 

 

Love never failing this family of God

faith kept and course finished, the narrow path trod

All trials and longing finally will be

at last, in that city, just faint memories

 

 

 

Shoulder to shoulder, saints side by side

 jointly assembled - each part of the Bride

Victory has come to all that would fight

together forever, arrayed in pure white

Who is this group-Bride battling? As far as I can tell, everything in the universe is part of God: so what is there to fight?
