The freedom of the soul,
When passed beyond all earthly bribe
To God’s complete control.
All things are his, yes, life, and death,
Things present or to come;
In Christ he draws in peace each breath,
In Christ he finds his home.
To share with Him His throne,
’Tis passing strange that we refuse
To be our Lord’s alone.
O never speak of sacrifice!
A privilege untold
Is to be His at any price,
In Calv’ry’s hosts enrolled.
The fragment for the whole—
All men and all events alike
Must serve the ransomed soul.
All things are yours when you are His,
And He and you are one;
A boundless life in Him there is,
And kingdom yet to come.

Romans 14:7-9
For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself; for whether we live, we live to the Lord, and whether we die, we die to the Lord.
Therefore whether we live or we die, we are the Lords. For Christ died and lived again for this, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
We praise You that You are our Lord and we belong to You. We and You are one!

Many may say that to serve the Lord is a waste of time. Yet to those who know our King, this is not a sacrifice or duty, but a privilege untold!

And He and you are one;
A boundless life in Him there is,
And kingdom yet to come.
Lo Suyo, todo tuyo es,
Si tú a El te das;
Vida abundante hallarás,
Y un reino que vendrá.

When thinking of the saints who lost power, water and have been suffering from the being stranded in home in severe frigid cold caused but the recent winter storm, the first stanza came. "All things are his, yes, life and death; things present or to come." As we continue to pray for the saints to be delivered from such outward hardships, may the saints experience Christ as his breath and home.

Considering comment by Tom:
No mortal tongue can e’er describe
The freedom of the soul,
When passed beyond all earthly bribe
With God, to reach His goal.

"O never speak of sacrifice! A privilege untold!"
He is the King of kings and the Lord of Lords. To serve Him is really not a sacrifice, but a privilege for us. Brother Nee once said, "We should gladly give ourselves to His service even if it means crawling to His feet to beg for service." May we also have such an attitude that we would even crawl to the Lord's feet just to beg Him to allow us to serve Him. May we give ourselves to serve the Lord while we still have the opportunity.
