God keeps His promises, His word Archives - Page 6 of 20

Not Seeking, Not Finding

And God gave us His Bible
The story of Israel, of man
Our fall, need for redemption
Messiah Jesus, God’s plan.

“You will show me, the path of life
In Your presence, fullness of joy
Weeping, may endure for a night
But in the morning, comes joy.”

So then friend, you can find
In your darkest, deep hour
God is ever, our hope
Can uphold us, by His power.

For our testing and trial
Are to strengthen our trust
As He bids us, to believe
All to Him, entrust.

For His love in Christ Jesus
Our Lord, is love eternal
We are forever, in His hand
More than secure, His love encircles.

Are we humble and lowly
Or proud, self-serving
Are exalting ourself
Or submissive, subserving?

Are so weary of self
All the efforts you make
Self-reliance, self-ambitions
All fleshly, vain mistakes.

Jesus taught how to be
In our attitudes, our nature
What to strive for, as goals
Become like our Creator.

So, acknowledge our blame
Whenever, we succumb
To wrong lusts, and desires
Repent, seeking God’s Son.

He shall be like a tree
Planted by rivers of water
Brings forth fruit, in its season
Whose leaf shall not wither.
