Self or the Savior?

Instead, self becomes center
Instead of Christ
Our thinking, our deciding
Self-fulfilment, our prize.

We must seek God, alone
In the quietness, and pray
Ask God, to guide us
To draw near, every day.

So, give Christ your life
Your will, and whole heart
Repent, seek God’s Presence
To come fill, every part.

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 Jesus’ suffering, God’s path
To bless fallen man
In His cross, our daily dying
God has shown us, His plan.

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

But, if our vision is great
Let us therefore, come boldly
To His throne of grace
To obtain mercy from God
Come wholly rest, in His grace.

So, to live for The Master
For His glory and praise
Be faithful, single-minded
Your heart, upward raised.
