Empurple
Empurple - to make or become purple

Purple is the color of kings
And color of nobility
I was once so rare that it was
Worn only by the royalty

And if it is a royal hue
This brilliant mix of red and blue,
What better place for it to be
Than among the heavenly?

This, then, is what life is about:
being prepared for life above,
By learning to walk in faith,
And donning a robe of love!

This is God's plan in history:
To empurple you and me,
Making us fit for royalty,
Preparing us for what will be,
He's empurpling us more each hour
Through the strength and His loving power...
