EVERLASTING GIFT FROM HIGH!

By Yasen Vedrin

(I Kneel Before You)

From this wide world I am now parted.

I look at no earth calendar.

For me the Lord arose, light-hearted,

To be my Gift from near and far…

And in my heart no date is turning,

But only love and bows I bring,

For Freedom in my soul is burning,

And Zion's Light, where angels sing.

With Him the time of life, extended,

Gathered into a single Day –

Rays from the Cross, where shapes amended,

And born in God I found my way.

I have received the Strength, untamed,

The Covenant power from above,

His long-lived Mercy, softly named,

Has filled my chest with Holy love.

And even to old age, appearing,

I’ll tremble, saved and full of grace,

Since Christ arose, my spirit clearing,

I am raised with Him in that place.

Amen and Amen!

TO BE MY EVERLASTING SHARE!

By Yasen Vedrin

(I Kneel Before You)

Whether the Shepherd of the Flock,

Or of the branches You’re the Vine,

You, Lord, remain my King, my Rock,

The only King on earth of mine.

Whether the Bread, from God so Holy,

Or Morning Star that starts to rise,

With You I stay newborn and solely

I have the bird's flight to the skies.

Whether the Rock that stands for ages,

Or Lamp upon the Altar's side,

I will not choose other pages,

But follow You with Faith as guide.

Whether the True and Living Temple,

Or of the Wedding Feast the Lamb,

You are my Flame, so pure and simple,

The Covenant Crest of who I am.

Whether the Righteous Judge, the Giver,

Or David’s Root of ancient grace,

With You, against the snake, the slither,

I will be strong in every place.

Whether the Bridegroom, bright and glowing,

Or narrow Gate, in Spirit pressed,

With Your sweet Wine my heart is flowing,

And in You is my soul so blest.

Whether the Stone from Zion's mountain,

Or Alpha and Omega, true,

My heart bowed down to Your pure fountain,

And in the Ark I am with You.

The Father has in You united

The Heavens and the earth in prayer!

To have my soul by You invited –

To be my Everlasting Share!

TO GOD THE FATHER!

By Yasen Vedrin

(I Kneel Before You)

You are my Sanctuary, Holy,

The Temple of the waters live!

And I am Yours, forever, solely,

When in my heart Your Son will thrive!

And in Your Love, completely given,

He shines and touches with His grace,

So that a perfect gift from Heaven

May testify before Your face.

With that same boundless, mighty Will

With which You move the shining stars,

With that same Will – I pray You still –

Guide all Your faithful through their scars.

Let Christ shine bright in every soul

Amidst the darkness, blind and vast,

Before, like comets to their goal,

They reach their Heavenly Home at last…

With these pure words I now implore You,

And cast my anchor – there beyond,

Where the Eternal waits before You,

And all our earthly paths respond…

YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING, LORD!

By Yasen Vedrin

(I Kneel Before You)

You are my Sun, ever Holy!

You are my Bright, radiant Day!

You are God’s Gold for me solely!

You are my Yoke and my Way!

You are my Friend, true and giving!

You are my Peace in all grief!

You are my Sculptor, all-living!

You are my Door to relief!

You are my Power, God-given!

You are my Cross and my Star!

You are my Breath, when heart-driven!

You are my Stream from afar!

You are my Meaning, Faith-founded!

You are my Blessing from high!

You are my Altar Fire, bounded!

Love that in spirit won't die!

THE LORD IS DEARER STILL!

By Yasen Vedrin

(I Kneel Before You)

Even if my brief life

Must be paid for with grief,

In the Heaven’s high strife,

The Lord is dearer still.

Though I carry this load

On my back, growing weak,

On the Covenant road,

The Lord is dearer still.

On no cushions I rest,

I am bruised by the edge,

But I say to my chest:

The Lord is dearer still!

Through the malice I go

From the venomous bite,

Yet despite the snake below,

The Lord is dearer still!

Not accepted, denied,

By no mold am I bound.

With my love as my guide –

The Lord is dearer still.

I’ve a path with a Cross

To the rays from above!

So through profit or loss,

The Lord is dearer still!

THE HARP OF DAVID

By Yasen Vedrin

(I Kneel Before You)

The Harp of David plays so clear and bright.

The olive tree brings forth its fruit again.

God pours His Holy Spirit and His Light,

Faithful to His people and to men.

The White Dove spreads His wings above the land,

Creating mighty faith within the soul.

Strong in His Word, with glorious deeds at hand,

The Lord burns in our hearts to make us whole.

So much has passed, and little now remains.

The latter rain is falling from above.

The Bride in pure attire breaks her chains,

Awaiting marriage with her Heavenly Love.

The pearly gates she gladly will unfold

In that most blessed, Holy moment's sign.

The cups of wine will fill up, as foretold –

The Spirit, sung by the Eternal Vine.

The Temple built of pillars white will gleam.

The City will resound with hymns of praise.

And Glory, like a long-awaited dream,

With longing palm leaves will its power raise.

And like a story – beautiful and grand,

A gift for life that is forever blest,

The Harp will play across the Holy Land,

By David’s wondrous Spirit repossessed.

A RIDER WITHIN YOUR TRAIN

By Yasen Vedrin

(I Kneel Before You)

You will come, O Lord Jesus, to reign,

On a horse, white and strong, with proud hooves.

Over skies hushed by calls and in pain,

Your deep Holiness all the world proves.

Right behind You, on horses of white,

All the Saints who were faithful will ride.

And Your foe, bending knees in the night,

Down to dark, endless chasms will slide.

Give me now Your grand Faith and Your Sword!

Let me ride within Your Holy train!

And my spirit, far-reaching, O Lord,

Will fly high with You over the plain.

To Your Throne – up in Zion’s great crest!

To the gates that are pearly and bright!

I will come, O Lord Jesus, addressed

On a horse with commands woven white!

GALILEE

By Yasen Vedrin

(I Kneel Before You)

My quiet prayer will gently flow and rise,

Just like a stream that gushes from a stone.

O, Lord! Reveal Galilee to my eyes,

And angels with white wings before Your throne!

And let me see You there, exalted, high –

A gatherer of hope and radiant light.

And without asking where You are, or why,

Let tears fill up my eyes and blur my sight.

I don’t believe You dwell in space so cold.

A joyous peace returns when I implore.

Sighed out, and prayed, and beautifully told,

Your Words refill my spirit more and more.

And like a bird, I follow in Your way,

Anointing all my wings with Holy Oil,

To be the apple of Your eye today…

Beyond the stars – a kin on Galilean soil…

DO NOT FEAR, LITTLE FLOCK!

By Yasen Vedrin

(I Kneel Before You)

Do not fear, little flock!

For Jesus is your Guide!

His Covenant – a rock!

Salvation – opened wide!

Though Earth with evil quakes

And shakes until today,

High in the Light He takes

His sheep to guide their way.

Do not fear, little flock!

Survive with hope so bright!

For Truth endure the shock!

And live for What is right!

The world may hate you now,

But Faith will hold your hand!

The Holy guards your vow

From traps across the land!

Do not fear, little flock!

See Glory from above!

The Prize that time can't block,

After this path of love.

The Heavens will unfold

The shining Door of grace,

And up there, saved and bold,

You’ll find your rightful place!

Do not fear, little flock!

A Moment's left to trace!

With joy no sin can mock,

To see His shining Face!

His Love will carry you

To shelters from the cold,

Within the borders true

Of Zion's holy fold…

SALVATION FROM THE ROCK

By Yasen Vedrin

(I Kneel Before You)

Attracted by the Spirit's Light,

I cannot stop my moving feet.

High in the mountains, in His might,

Christ is my Rock and my retreat.

And this great mountain is so Holy,

It weighs above the world in Word,

And he who carries it, though lowly,

Will bear its weight before the Lord.

The sacred words of God, endearing,

Entice my bright and holy dream.

My weary feet are trembling, nearing

To Jacob, Peter, John's esteem.

The cloud of Glory now approaches.

And Christ from Righteousness shines bright.

While God the Father softly voices:

"Stay with My Son in His great light!

And let the white Rock from above

Abide within your spirit deep.

To have My Power and My Love,

And power over cliffs to keep..."

Hushed in my faith, I kneel and pray.

Humbled and taken from the earth.

The Lord connects my soul today

To His sun-bright Covenant birth.

From every choice below the skies,

My soul has made the holiest choice –

To have, where holy mountains rise,

Salvation from the Rock, rejoice...

JESUS BESTOWS THIS LIFE TO THEE!

By Yasen Vedrin

(I Kneel Before You) 

Jesus bestows this Life to thee!

Walk with His Cross! And shine so bright!

Exalt His Glory beautifully,

And testify His path of light!

With honest prayers to God above,

Pay now the price that demands all!

Be Fire where cold has frozen love!

Be Light where blinding shadows fall!

Give Him your Spirit – let it serve!

Humble your heart in Covenant's trace!

And He inside you will preserve

His eternal Self and holy grace!

For such a Love is miracle,

Poured by the Father in your soul!

Jesus bestows this Life to thee!

Take it with Faith! And be made whole!

MY ALMIGHTY EXAMPLE AND GUIDE!

By Yasen Vedrin

(I Kneel Before You)

He is always up there, where He reigns –

In the zenith of Glory, sublime,

Yet a Temple in faith He maintains

With His Covenant Spirit through time.

He chooses no humans by height,

And with titles and power doesn't trade.

On the Cross He reveals His true might,

Midst the souls where His kingdom is made.

In the hands that are stretched out with grace,

He is searching for wounds like His own.

Testing heart after heart in this place,

He selects what belongs to His Throne.

He recognizes no earthly kings,

And for teachers no fear will He keep.

If the grain of wheat dies to all things,

He revives it for harvest to reap.

Full of mercy to sinners of flesh,

He gives Spirit to Magdalene's soul,

So her heart finds the Pathway afresh

To the Garden of Eden, made whole.

A dim lantern He never puts out,

And He steps on no reed to its death.

Even wolves He can save from the doubt,

And call lambs with His life-giving breath.

My Almighty Example and Guide!

In His deeds – He is Holy, profound!

The most loved Heavenly Groom at her side!

To the Saints – Love and Song without bound!

He’s the Root in the Holy ground cast,

And the Star in the morning's bright shade!

To follow Him – first till the last,

So my spirit forever is stayed!
