Excerpt from "The Lord's Ascension" "Let's celebrate the Lord's ascension The day the Father brought Him home And all of heaven in attention Was gathered round the great white throne. And in the midst the Lamb was standing His work was finest to the end. With trumpet sounds of praise ascending to Him who to the earth was sent His work was done. The only Son, He paid the price, so men could rise from chains of sin, and enter in the Holy place, by saving grace. Let's join in heavens celebration, Let's all present our loud ovation."
