The Role of a Pastor
His primary goal, our salvation
Our atonement, kept His Word
Yet first trained, His disciples
To spread His Gospel, to the world.
Calvinism, Arminianism or Both?
Know God’s Word, teaches both
God’s sovereignty, His will
But also, our heart’s free choice
To stay hardened, or Spirit filled.
Be God’s Light, and Open Book
So reach out, in His love
Be a blessing, start caring
Ask God, be His light
Be shining, and sharing.
In the Grip of God’s Love
Grip my heart, with Your Truth
I am loved, beyond measure
Despite all my failures
In Christ, I’m You’re treasure.
His Rest and Peace
Our life’s full of troubles
Tribulations, each day
Yet instead of our resting
We keep struggling, our way.
But To Thy Name
Not to us, O Lord
But all the glory, Thine
Unto Thy Name, praise and thanks
For every gift, divine.
A Call to Repentance
Start a fire, LORD we ask
And burn up the dross
Great repentance and turning
Before yet more, are lost.
Broken, or Restored?
We no longer, are broken
God’s Spirit, now within
Restoring, transforming
And freeing from sin.
Take Responsibility for Our Failures
Learn from Adam, our wrongs
We must own, and not hide
Nor blame others, but confess
And repent…. in Christ abide.
Hear Me
You said “seek My face”
My heart said to You
Your face will I seek
Hide not from my view.
