That He May Increase

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

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

Make a joyful shout
To the LORD, all the lands!
Serve the LORD, with gladness
Sing before Him, clap hands.

The verdict is in
And, ‘self’ has to die
Against our carnal cravings
Long deceived, by a lie.

In scripture and song
In prayer, listen too
Expect to meet God
He is waiting for you.

Seek but the Lord
Not for what He can do
But simply enjoy Him
Alone, He and you.

Satan came before God
In heaven to accuse
Not to worship, nor praise
But Job, to misuse.

So compassionate, loving
So caring, keeps seeking
Speaks into men’s hearts
So, surrender… stop fleeing.

God allows what He hates
To achieve what He loves
He permits man to sink
That men seek Him above.

So, draw near to God
Repentant and yearning
Hungering and thirsting
Worshiping, and learning.
