I have conquered, I have mastered

I overcame death by Your death Lord

I have overcome this world

I received more than life by Yours

For the One I invited in

Is greater than all my sin

How have I overcome the darkest night?

By believing Jesus is the Son of God

The One who strengthens me for the fight

He overcame the world and offered the same to me

By faith, born of God, establishing my victory

My journey here is to overcome evil with good

Only with a heart of God's love

Am I able to do what I should

To touch the unlovely, those in a dark place

The Lord in His love offers this grace

He has promised to me

Awesome wonders for the future I can't see

Oh how I need reminding that I have overcome the world

For the world continues to strike back

So I tighten my armor

Angels ready for any attack

Clashes I can't see as evil takes a stand

I am but a small child of God's

Learning to recognize the enemy of this land

There are rewards to be given to those who overcome

I try to think how it will be

To eat of the tree of Life, In God's Paradise

A pure sweet taste, flowing through my soul

Fruit that is perfect, not infested or bruised

Eating with others as we laugh and sing

Experiencing the fulness only Christ can bring

Hidden manna, bread of heaven

The Lord will also share

So many wonderful surprises, I long to be there

My desire to hear the Spirit's voice

So low and clear, through written words it does appear

As an overcomer I will be given a pure white stone

Will it feel smooth in my hand?

As I turn it over what new name will I have?

One known only by me

One Jesus will choose

How exciting that moment will be

Robed in white, I'll stand, knowing my name was in His Book of Life

The moment I was conceived

Because of my love for You Lord my name still remains

I wonder which one was used

Which one will my Father speak in my heart

As I confess He is my God, as He pronounces my name

His angels always alert, recognize the same

Names by which a person is known

Ones that describe reputation, authority

Or a character shown

All humanity are defined by so many verbal pictures

Yet there will be a time when the portraits change

For I as an overcomer will be granted more than one name

How will I be able to endure the touch of Your voice Lord?

As I receive the name of my God

Added to that the jeweled name of Jerusalem

Name above all new names I also will have

A name not previously used, or spoken ill of by fallen man

The new name of my Christ I will aslo wear

What scene my mind can't comprehend

As millions and my self are called

Ready to hear each heavenly pronunciation echoing through the land

Mingled with the markings on the white stone in my hand

Jesus You said I will be one with You and Your Father

Setting on a throne

My mind so overwhelmed, trusting my heart to You alone

Yes I'm excited by this glance into my future

By faith I look to the glories only my new body will know

As a child all I ever wanted was to be allowed

To step inside the gate, stand against the wall of heaven

Now I know there is so much more

That the blood of Christ has given
