A Call to Repentance

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

The fear of the LORD
Is the beginning of wisdom
But fools, despise God
His rule, and His kingdom.

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

And put on the new man
Created according to God
In true righteousness and holiness
In His fullness, now daily trod.

And God gave us His Bible
The story of Israel, of man
Our fall, need for redemption
Messiah Jesus, God’s plan.

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

Let my heart be blameless
Regarding Your statutes
That I may not be ashamed
Live a life with sound roots.

You’ve dealt well, with Your servant
LORD, in accord with Your Word
Teach me good judgment
And knowledge, conferred.

Now, in place of carnal thinking
That feed our feelings, reactions
We’re renewed, in our minds
And godly thoughts, lead to actions.

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