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.
All Soldiers, No Abstainers!
Life’s not a cruise-ship, but a battleship
We’re not observers, but partakers
And not passive, but active
Bear God’s armor, no abstainers!
What Love is This?
But ‘Agape’ love
The heart of God’s nature
Is selfless, sacrificial
There is no love greater.
Are You a Dreamer?
Yet our Master, Creator
Set limits, in love
Has given us guidance
The true Captain, above.
Desperate to Change?
So, friend if you’re yearning
God’s blessing and change
Come wrestle with God
‘til your old life’s exchanged.
Wrestling with God
There at Penuel, he met God
Truly saw, face to face
How he struggled, prevailed
Saw God’s mercy and grace.
Win the Prayer Battles!
So, until that day comes
When all evil is ended
Claim victory, in prayer
Overcome, we’re defended.
Our Victorious God
Know God alone conquers
Every battle is won
Yet, He invites us partake
Wholly trust, in His Son.
‘Self’ has to Die
The verdict is in
And, ‘self’ has to die
Against our carnal cravings
Long deceived, by a lie.
