Monday Meditation: Death Has No Power

 

"Should I ransom them from the power of Sheol, the place of the dead?
  Should I redeem them from death?
(Hosea 13:14)

Are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been
baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

We were buried therefore with Him by the baptism into death,
so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of
 the Father, so we too might habitually live and behave in the newness of life.

For if we have become one with Him by sharing a death like His, we shall
also be one with Him in sharing His resurrection, by a new life lived for God.

We know that our old unrenewed self was nailed to the cross with Him
in order that our body, which is the instrument of sin, might be made effective
and inactive for evil, that we might no longer be the slaves of sin.

For when a man dies, he is freed from the power of sin.

Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him.

Because we know that Christ the Anointed One, being once raised from
the dead, will never die again; death no longer has power over Him.

For by the death He died,  He died to sin, ending His relationship to it
once for all; and the life that He lives, He is living to God in unbroken
fellowship with Him.

Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken,
 but alive to God, living in unbroken fellowship with Him in Christ Jesus.

(Romans 6:3-11)

Will You Come To The Bower?

 

Will you come to the bow'r o'er the free boundless ocean,
Where the stupendous waves roll in thundering motion,
Where the mermaids are seen and the fierce tempest gathers
To loved Erin in the green, the dear land of our fathers,
Will you come, will you, will you come to the bower?

" From those golden bright views to enchanting..."

Rostrevor, Northern Ireland

Will you come to the land of O'Neill and O'Donnell
Of Lord Lucan of old and the immortal O'Connell
Where Brian drove the Danes and St. Patrick the vermin
And whose valleys remain still most beautiful and charming.

You can visit Benburb and the storied Blackwater
Where Owen Roe met Munroe and his chieftains did slaughter
Where the lambs skip and play on the mossey all over
For those golden bright views to enchanting Rostrevor.

You can see Dublin city and the fine groves of Blarney
The Bann, Boyne, the Liffey and the lakes of Killarney;
You may ride on the tide o'er the broad majestic Shannon
You may sail round Loch Neagh and see storied Dungannon.

You can visit New Ross, gallant Wexford and Gorey,
Where the green was last seen by proud Saxon and Tory,
Where the soil is sanctified by the blood of each true man
Where they died satisfied, their enemies they would not run from.

Will you come and awake our lost land from its slumber,
And her fetters we will break, links that long are encumbered,
And the air will resound with Hosanna to greet you,
On the shore will be found gallant Irishmen to meet you.
