The Fear of God

Yes, fear God and His Word
He surely is with us
Learn to fear the LORD
Our salvation, is Jesus.

So, do drink your cup
Trust God, and obey
He is with you, midst sufferings
Know He’s present, always.

Yet, He bids us to follow
We must take up, our cross
Abide in Him daily
Count all things as loss.

Do you seek to withdraw
To that innermost place?
There, we step aside
Meet the God of all grace.

May the LORD increase
In my life, day by day
And may I decrease
I earnestly pray.

And while God offers good
Temptation brings evil
Understanding our choice
Be His righteous people.

In God’s Vine, keep abiding
As His branch, bearing fruit
Stay dependent, keep praying
Christ-likeness, your pursuit.

‘In Me, you have peace’
Spoke Jesus, God’s Son
‘In the world, tribulation
Be courageous… I’ve overcome’.

When confronted by suffering
With reasons unclear
Will we choose to grow better
Or grow bitter, with fears.

So, we lift every hurt
Release all, to Him
Now laid upon Christ
Walk in grace, not sin.
