Lyrics (verses): Intro Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
V1 The day starts with fellowship in the evening, Free time with family and God bringing meaning.
Wake with the Scripture, let the Word lead the way, Proverbs Three-Seven — refuse evil, come what may. Don't rely on your own understanding, Simply obey God — that's where we're standing.
Write the vision, yom ree shawn to shah-baht, plain to see, Built on the Rock so it stands securely.
Intimate covenant, guard the gaze of the heart, Partner beside you — time together set apart. Family at table, the children gather near, Friend or two to sharpen, iron crystal clear, Job and the calling, the hands trained to heal, Creativity and wellness — pursuing what is real.
Ch Seek the ideal — plan it today, Structure brings you clarity and freedom every day. When you're not hungry, tired, or upset, The spirit of voluntary play is what you get. Seek the ideal — aim and watch life shift, Your mind and world reconfigure as a gift. For God and truth — pro Day oh et ver-ih-tah-tay, As for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh. Every block of time becomes a step toward what's great — Seek the ideal, make the plan right and real.
V2 Treat the calendar as a friend, Plan the day you want from start to end. Five-minute blocks with cushioning pegs, Big breakfast — protein, fat, and eggs, Gird your loins and strengthen arms & legs.
Push, pull, carry, run — functional, you see, Gird up — go and be physically healthy, Strengthening the body for God's glory, It's not about pride or just a trophy. Staying away from the world's vanity.
Work in chunks of two to three straight hours, Biggest priority first — that empowers. Ask yourself: If I paid fifty for that hour — Would I hire me, or would the value sour? Fix the things you do on repeat each day, Those routines reflect in your DNA.
Br Sabbath comes Friday night, the work is laid down, Scripture and rest — no buying in the town.
Six days labor, the seventh is His sign forever. Aim to be a hundred percent completer, But a seventy or fifty and growing still beats never, Ch
V3 Love is not merely a feeling in the air — It's covenant, it's sacrifice, it's choosing to be there. Ephesians 5 — a husband gives himself; She's a mission that is never on a shelf. Make her your field of study, learn her heart by name, Her favorites, her laughter — how to brighten her flame.
Start with something shared — a meal, a walk, a task, Then hold her hand and listen — enjoy her, make it last. Leviticus 11 keeps the table clean and right, Split hoof and chewing cud, fins and scales in sight. The science backs the Scripture every single time — Lower disease and health is in its prime. Eat well, move strong, rest on the Sabbath — His design. Tithe for His will and make His feasts a ten Every year, then we begin again Everything's accounted, every penny tracked Emergency fund rising — no debt on the back Save and invest, Proverbs six look to the ant Faithful with little — Yeshua inside with civic duty never stalling, Guard against the traps that keep the best men falling.
Br Journal what the ideal looks like — three to five years out, Then flip it: what's the ruin if you let the vulnerabilities take route? Every weakness has a direction it could pull, But once you aim, the path aligns — your life becomes more full. The schedule's not a prison — it's a garden that you want to tend, Where everything you love has room and purpose in the end. The kingdom of God is the place where mankind plays forever — Structure your relations right and joy becomes your weather.
V4 A city set upon a hill cannot be hid, They'll witness the fruit of what you did. Don't just preach it — live it, let the evidence of the light extend, Seek the ideal not for self alone — but to help every soul to mend. Justice, mercy, walking humbly — that's how kingdoms never end. You can go the distance, you can run a mile You can do what's difficult all with a smile. You can mend relationships with Yeshua's style. Do it for your country, do it for your name. 'Cause there's gonna be a day when you're... Before the one of fame ...
Every trial faced, every righteous stand you took — Endure till the end — and keep your name within His book. That God may say He knows your name. 'Cause you burn bright with His Son's flame! Be the student, be the teacher, Be the healer, be the preacher, Be fathers, be leaders, Be mothers, Be home-builders, Be truth seekers! From your home out to the nation let it ring — Everything for the glory of the King! Final Ch ... https://suno.com/s/FywXpVBL83EbPAgE
