Pledge My Head To Heaven

Once again, I'd like to offer the lyrics of a song for you to consider. It is a song by Keith Green, a man who's life for the Lord Jesus could well be summed up by something he said once. "If you praise and worship Jesus with your mouth and your life does not praise and worship him, there's something wrong!" He lived his life for Jesus. In these end times, there can be little more said to Christians the world over.

Pledge My Head To Heaven

Well, I pledge my head to heaven for the gospel,
And I ask no man on earth to fill my needs.
Like the sparrow up above, I am enveloped in His love,
And I trust Him like those little ones, He feeds.

Well, I pledge my wife to heaven, for the gospel,
Though our love each passing day just seems to grow.
As I told her when we wed, I'd surely rather be found dead,
Than to love her more than the One who saved my soul.

I'm Your child, and I want to be in Your family forever.
I'm Your child, and I'm going to follow You,
No matter whatever the cost
I'm gonna count all things loss.

Well, I pledge my son to heaven for the gospel.
Though he's kicked and beaten, ridiculed and scorned.
I will teach him to rejoice, and lift a thankful, praising voice,
And to be like Him who bore the nails and crown of thorns.

I'm Your child, and I want to be in Your family forever.
I'm Your child, and I'm going to follow You,
No matter whatever the cost,
I'm gonna count all things loss.
Oh, no matter whatever the cost,
I'm gonna count all things loss.

Well, I've had the chance to gain the world, and live just like a king,
But, without Your love, it doesn't mean a thing.

Oh, no matter whatever the cost,
I'm gonna count all things loss,
Oh, no matter whatever the cost,
I'm gonna count all things loss.

Well, I pledge my son, I pledge my wife, I pledge my head to heaven,
I pledge my son, I pledge my wife, I pledge my head to heaven, for the gospel.

"Yea doubtless, and I count all things [but] loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [but] dung, that I may win Christ...."
Phil. 3:8

Grace and Peace....
