Futility or Fullness?
And put on the new man
Created according to God
In true righteousness and holiness
In His fullness, now daily trod.
Are We Poor in Spirit?
Are we humble and lowly
Or proud, self-serving
Are exalting ourself
Or submissive, subserving?
Poor in Spirit?
Are so weary of self
All the efforts you make
Self-reliance, self-ambitions
All fleshly, vain mistakes.
All Soldiers, No Abstainers!
Life’s not a cruise-ship, but a battleship
We’re not observers, but partakers
And not passive, but active
Bear God’s armor, no abstainers!
Sealed by God’s Spirit
Know if trusting, believing
The gospel of Jesus’ salvation
By the pledge, of His Spirit
We are sealed, His new creation!

Give me understanding
According to Your Word.

All Your commands are true
Concerning Your testimonies
I have known, of old
You have founded them, forever.

Trouble and anguish, found me
Yet Your commands, are my delight
Everlasting, Your righteous testimonies
Bring understanding, and revive.
