David saw the Kingdom in his day, a people that would rule and reign over the earthly realm with heavenly authority - not to make fish and fowl go here and go there, but to vanquish sin in all its aspects, to conquer self, turn the world upside down.
David, as you sat out on the hill,
Beneath the stars so quiet and still,
Contemplated God's great will,
You saw the heavens so great and vast,
Our life a vapor soon to pass,
But grasped the plan of God at last
Of a people who would rule and reign,
Have dominion in His name,
Leave this sad world not the same.
Fully rescued from the fall,
They'd have dominion over all -
Fish, and fowl, and beasts that crawl.
Fish that swim in oceans deep
Are passions strong that try to keep
Us locked up in sin's depths so steep.
Fowls that fly across the sky
Are thoughts that crowd our minds and try
To make us our great God deny.
Sheep and oxen, beasts of the field,
Are our emotions which can yield
A heart against the Spirit sealed.
Those that live for Christ alone
Will receive from Him a stone
Of white, a name but to them known.
They shall prove Messiah's worth,
Bring His Kingdom reign to birth,
As in heaven, so on earth.
