Partakers of the Divine Nature
2 Peter · Progressive House
[Intro - counted pickup]
One faith, equally precious
One righteousness in our God and Saviour
[Verse 1 - each line adds a layer]
Power has already placed within reach
All that belongs to life and godliness
Through knowing the One who called us
Into glory and virtue
Great promises open like windows
Corruption loses its stale air
[Refrain - ascending]
Through what He has promised
We partake of the divine nature
We escape the world's decay of lust
[Verse 2 - cumulative]
Faith, take virtue by the hand
Virtue, walk with knowledge
Knowledge, learn the rein of temperance
Temperance, stay beside patience
Patience, grow into godliness
Godliness, make room for brotherly kindness
Brotherly kindness, opened fully into charity
[Interlude]
[Verse 3 - reduced pulse]
Let these things live and abound
And knowing Christ will bear its fruit
The one who cannot see this path
Has forgotten the cleansing behind him
Look again, remember, be diligent
[Refrain - full register]
Make calling and election sure
Practice the road beneath your feet
You shall not stumble from it
And an abundant entrance will open
Into the everlasting kingdom
Of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour
[Outro]
Grace and peace multiply
As every step becomes love
