Foes of our Faith

So full surrender, full obedience;
Rebuke all ‘foes’… His Spirit fill;
With great faith, do not doubt;
Be not hindering, God’s will.

“Lord, examine and cleanse me;
Search and prove me within;
Try my mind, and my heart;
Do reveal, where I still sin”.

Learn to lean and to cast;
All our cares, upon Him;
Not weighed down with worry;
We’ve the Holy Spirit, within!

Not little faith, with self-hindering;
But great faith, wholly trusting;
Be not burdened with our baggage;
But fully yielded, Jesus entrusting.

Fix our free will, on God’s will;
Not to follow, our fallen nature;
Walk by faith, not by our feelings;
Obey God’s Word, our selfless Savior.

Such love, that passes knowledge
With which, you may be filled
With all the fullness of God
Through His Spirit, be fulfilled.

And see beyond, sinful behavior;
Respond, forgiving with God’s love;
Not with our feelings, but His Spirit
Will give grace, from above.

So be like Joseph, with his brothers;
So mistreated, misunderstood;
Despite the deepest of offenses
Forgave, believed God used for good.

We do not walk, based on our past;
Nor follow, old familiar feelings;
But live in Jesus’ Word, His love;
See transformation, our God is healing.

So follow not, our feelings, ways
And neither follow, the flock
Nor false shepherds, deceiving
With the Good Shepherd, alone walk .
