Preface from Frank for this episode: “I was a guest on a show tailored to Christian men in ministry and business. In it, I discussed what I believe to be critical insights for all leaders and creators, both women and men. While the context was faith-based, the substance is universal. And while the specific podcast I was interviewed on was geared toward men, the advice is for everyone. The interview contains some of my best advice for those making a ruckus – ministers, writers, teachers, musicians, artists, teachers, spiritual leaders, etc.”

Lyrics to “The Romance of the Ages”

There's a lady who's pure

Hid in God she’s secure

And she’s waiting to wed her true Bridegroom

She is young and she’s free

Peerless worth she has seen

By His Word she is sure where she came from

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

And she's wearing a white gown that’s spotless

There's no wrinkle no flaw

Found in Christ from before

The whole world ever came into being

New creation behold

Without blemish she glows

With His presence she shows forth His nature

Oooh, it makes me praise Him

She’s the pearl of great price

A dear treasure to Christ

And the Spirit is crying for marriage

Sterling beauty men see

By her light they’re set free

And her garments are fragrant with glory

Ooh, it makes me praise Him

When He died on that tree

Blood and water redeemed

And His side was the womb where she came from

And a new day will dawn

For all who stood long

And the angels will chorus with laughter

Oh whoa-whoa-whoa, oh-oh

She is the woman God has dreamed of

Before creation

The New Jerusalem is coming

The Lamb is ready to escort her

To His chamber

The Spirit’s calling her to join Him

And it makes me love Him

Oh, whoa

Her heart is captured by His beauty

And His glory

The Bridegroom’s calling her to join Him

Dear lady, can you sense His nearness?

He’s been waiting

The Lamb is ready to appear now

And now the drama it unfolds

All that the prophets had foretold

There stands a lady we all know

Who beams with light and is extolled

And all within her turns to gold

Exquisite stone and pearl from old

When she is one with Him at last

The Bride is ready for the Lamb

She’ll be His wife upon His throne

And she's waiting to wed her true Bridegroom

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 10:25:05 -0500

Lyrics to “Ekklesia”

Well I’ve seen a woman whose beauty is beyond compare

Her garments are eternal and glory shines through her hair

She’s a Bride without blemish, she is holy, pure, and true

She’s the woman God has dreamed of, fragrant with heaven’s dew

And she is radiant with Life

A holy city, the Lamb’s Wife

She’s Ekklesia (Ekklesia)

Well she’s making herself ready for the marriage of the Lamb her Groom

And she is clothed with His image in the newness of Jerusalem

And for her hand He was crucified

And in His bosom she’ll abide

She’s Ekklesia (Ekklesia)

Bridge:

She came out of His side

She’s ekklesia

She came out of His side

She’s ekklesia

She’s the city of God

She’s ekklesia

She’s the city of God

She’s ekklesia

Ekk-le-sia, Ekk-le-sia

Out of His side

Bone of His bone

City of God

Lyrics to “In This Quiet Time With You”

The lamp is burning Lord in my inner man

The light softly glowing

The air still in the silence of my mind

I hear Your voice softly calling

As I behold Your glorious face

Here with a saint or two

I will be happy just to touch the heart I love

In this quiet time with You

Your peace is conquering this troubled heart of mine

My cup is overflowing

I read again between the lines upon each page

Your words of love they fill me

As I behold Your glorious face

Here with a saint or two

I will be happy just to touch the heart I love

In this quiet time with You

The fire is dying my lamp is growing dim

The shades of night are falling

Your morning light steals across my spirit now

Your presence never leaves me

As I behold Your glorious face

Here with a saint or two

I will be happy just to touch the heart I love

In this quiet time with You

And to be once again with you
