But To Thy Name

Not to us, O Lord
But all the glory, Thine
Unto Thy Name, praise and thanks
For every gift, divine.

Well, I don’t mind a dog
Be it Collie or Beagle
But I’m sad for this driver
Who prefers dogs to people.

Start a fire, LORD we ask
And burn up the dross
Great repentance and turning
Before yet more, are lost.

With each worldview different answers,
Made in God’s image, Judeo-Christian.
With only Jesus addressing evil,
Conquered sin, restores and listens.

Not skin color, nor features
Since there’s one human race
Should be all about virtues
Sadly many, have misplaced

So, listen with faith
Trusting God cannot fail
For in wisdom and love
He will always prevail.

Yes, if we yield to God
Needed grace, He’ll impart.
He can change our perspective
To transform our cold heart.

Tho’ many called, few are chosen
The self-righteous, are cast out
Into outer darkness
All the unclean, not allowed.

So we’re self-willed, self-reliant
Self-righteous, we blindly stray
Are defiant, independent
We want the last say.

We’re created to worship
Our innermost essence
A thirst deep within
To enter, God’s Presence.
