God’s Joy, or Our Feelings?
“You will show me, the path of life
In Your presence, fullness of joy
Weeping, may endure for a night
But in the morning, comes joy.”
Faith amidst Adversity
So then friend, you can find
In your darkest, deep hour
God is ever, our hope
Can uphold us, by His power.
Faith amidst Trials
For our testing and trial
Are to strengthen our trust
As He bids us, to believe
All to Him, entrust.
Be Secure in God’s Love
For His love in Christ Jesus
Our Lord, is love eternal
We are forever, in His hand
More than secure, His love encircles.
Can We Know God ?
We’re created to worship
Our innermost essence
A thirst deep within
To enter, God’s Presence.
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.
Driven by Hatred or Love?
Jesus showed forth God’s love
Crucified, for me and you
Had cried “Father, forgive them
They know not, what they do. “
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!
