Don’t Rebel Against God
So we’re self-willed, self-reliant
Self-righteous, we blindly stray
Are defiant, independent
We want the last say.
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.
God’s Joy, or Our Feelings?
“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.”
Faith amidst Adversity
So then friend, you can find
In your darkest, deep hour
God is ever, our hope
Can uphold us, by His power.
Faith amidst Trials
For our testing and trial
Are to strengthen our trust
As He bids us, to believe
All to Him, entrust.
A Corporate Church for our Corporate World?
With God’s people, compromising
Many passive, pew sitting
So, God’s ‘Royal Priesthood’
His call, are not fulfilling.
Understanding Cultures, Beliefs
That we share, most effectively
Are understood, not just heard
Connecting, relating
Fruitfully, sharing God’s Word.
Be Secure in God’s Love
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 Poor in Spirit?
Are we humble and lowly
Or proud, self-serving
Are exalting ourself
Or submissive, subserving?
Poor in Spirit?
Are so weary of self
All the efforts you make
Self-reliance, self-ambitions
All fleshly, vain mistakes.
