Living For The Lord

Living For The Lord
Author: Mark V. Markov

Imagine there's a heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell for our souls
We're surrounded
By the beautiful new earth
And the new sky
We're on the beautiful new earth
Under the new sky

Imagine all the people
Living for the Lord
Imagine all the people
Living for Elohim
Imagine all the people
Living for the Lord

Living as one,
Living for the Lord.
Living as true believers,
Living for the living God.

Imagine there's no borders
In the countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no false religion too

Imagine all the people
Living for the Lord
Imagine all the people
Living for Elohim
Imagine all the people
Living for the living God

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
Then the new heaven
And the new earth
Will come,
As all the people will live as one.
                                                                                 
Imagine no greed,
No wasteful possessions.
I wonder if you can?
No need for greed
And no more hunger

As we are living,
In God's heavenly kingdom of Christ, women and men.
Imagine all the people
Sharing the new heaven and the new earth.

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
Then the new heaven
And the new earth
Will come,
As all the people will live as one.

Imagine all the people
Living for the Lord                                                       
Imagine all the people
Living for Elohim
Imagine all the people
Living for the Lord

Living as one,
Living for the Lord.
Living as true believers,
Living for the living God

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And together we will be
In the new heaven and the new earth,
For all eternity.
Living for the Creator,
We will be as one...


Genesis 12:1-3

1 Now the Lord said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred
and your father's house to the land that I will show you.

2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great,
so that you will be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse,
and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."


Genesis 15:12-16


12 As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. And behold, dreadful and great darkness fell upon him.

13 Then the Lord said to Abram, "Know for certain that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs
and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years.

14 But I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve,
and afterward they shall come out with great possessions.

15 As for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace;
you shall be buried in a good old age.

16 And they shall come back here in the fourth generation,
for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete."


Genesis 26:3-5

3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you and will bless you,
for to you and to your offspring I will give all these lands,
and I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham your father.

4 I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and will give to your offspring all these lands.
And in your offspring all the nations of the earth shall be blessed,

5 because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."


John 3:16 English Standard Version (ESV)

16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.


John 1:1-5 English Standard Version (ESV)


The Word Became Flesh

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.

2 He was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made through him,
and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.


John 15:26 English Standard Version (ESV)

26 "But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father,
the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father,
he will bear witness about me.


John 14:15-17 (ESV)

15"If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

16And I will ask the Father,
and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,

17even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,
because it neither sees him nor knows him.
You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.


John 14:25-28 (ESV)

25These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you.

26But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.
Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

28You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.'
If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father,
for the Father is greater than I.

but the Father only.

not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,
but only the Father.


1 John 1:1-10 (ESV)

The Word of Life

1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes,
which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life-

2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life,
which was with the Father and was made manifest to us-

3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you,
so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.

Walking in the Light

5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.


Hebrews 1:1-14 (ESV)


The Supremacy of God's Son

1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways,
God spoke to our fathers by the prophets,

2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things,
through whom also he created the world.

3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature,
and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.
After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,

"You are my Son,
    today I have begotten you"?

Or again,

"I will be to him a father,
    and he shall be to me a son"?

6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,

"Let all God's angels worship him."

7 Of the angels he says,

"He makes his angels winds,
    and his ministers a flame of fire."

8 But of the Son he says,

"Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
    the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you
    with the oil of gladness beyond your companions."

10 And,

"You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands;

11 they will perish, but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment,

12 like a robe you will roll them up,
    like a garment they will be changed.
But you are the same,
    and your years will have no end."

13 And to which of the angels has he ever said,

"Sit at my right hand
    until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet"?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits
sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?


2 Corinthians 13:14 English Standard Version (ESV)


14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.


Daniel 7:9-14 (ESV)

The Ancient of Days Reigns

9 "As I looked,

thrones were placed,
    and the Ancient of Days took his seat;
his clothing was white as snow,
    and the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames;
    its wheels were burning fire.

10 A stream of fire issued
    and came out from before him;
a thousand thousands served him,
    and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him;
the court sat in judgment,
    and the books were opened.

11 "I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.

The Son of Man Is Given Dominion

13 "I saw in the night visions,

and behold, with the clouds of heaven
    there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the Ancient of Days
    and was presented before him.

14 And to him was given dominion
    and glory and a kingdom,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
    should serve him;
his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
    which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
    that shall not be destroyed.


Revelation 7:17 (ESV)

For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of living water,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."


Revelation 21:1-7 (ESV)

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,
and the sea was no more.

2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man.
He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore,
for the former things have passed away."

5 And he who was seated on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new."
Also he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."

6 And he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.
To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment.

7 The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
