During worship at my church last Easter, the song "Forever" was used. A short time after that Kari Jobe created her own version of the same song:
The song describes the Resurrection:
"The ground began to shake
The stone was rolled away
His perfect love could not be overcome
Now death where is your sting?
Our resurrected King
Has rendered you defeated"
However my favorite line in the song declares, "We sing hallelujah, the Lamb has overcome", which refers to the victory of the Resurrection. However this line reminds me of a verse in the Bible that tells about a future time when "the Lamb will overcome":
"They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers." Revelation 17:14
I was thinking recently about how Kari Jobe's song reminds me of this victory yet to come in the future. After I thought about this I noticed something on a poster on my wall in my room. I have a poster that displays Jesus on it with a crown of thorns on His head that says, "Won by One". There are verse references hidden within the picture at the bottom of the poster, and recently as I was looking at this poster I noticed the verse reference of this very same verse that I had been thinking about standing out to me -- Revelation 17:14
I couldn't find a picture and I have not taken a picture myself yet, but I found a picture on ebay of the same image on a coffee mug:
