Righteous or Religious?

So not my works, self-efforts
My offerings, being zealous
But Jesus only, makes pure
By faith righteous, not religious.

With my heart, ever hungry
Am so thirsty Lord, for You
So desiring, Your Presence
Your Word, is ever true.

You deserve full obedience
Love You LORD, with my all
You are worthy, beyond measure
Yet, You hear when I call!

We’re a ‘poem’ of God
His ‘poema’, in Greek
His creation, workmanship
Made in Christ, each unique.

The soldiers were gambling
For Jesus’ garments to win
Concerned with the outer
So blind to their sin.

Though we love to be loved
If despised, love abides
For agape love, is of God
And such love overrides.

So, daily cleave to God’s Word
And set your mind above
Keep proclaiming, God’s promises
Denounce the devil, declare God’s love.

Instead, Jesus commands us
To love, even our foe
So live not, based on feelings
Obey Jesus, and grow.

So, each offence forgive
Repent, be reconciled
Be freed from those burdens
Pray God’s love, be recognized.

Yes, if we step out in faith
And walk in His Spirit
Believing, not doubting
His Word, He fulfils it.
