Trust and obey God's will Archives - Page 3 of 7

Weeping and Gnashing

Tho’ many called, few are chosen
The self-righteous, are cast out
Into outer darkness
All the unclean, not allowed.

So we’re self-willed, self-reliant
Self-righteous, we blindly stray
Are defiant, independent
We want the last say.

So then friend, you can find
In your darkest, deep hour
God is ever, our hope
Can uphold us, by His power.

For our testing and trial
Are to strengthen our trust
As He bids us, to believe
All to Him, entrust.

For His love in Christ Jesus
Our Lord, is love eternal
We are forever, in His hand
More than secure, His love encircles.

He shall be like a tree
Planted by rivers of water
Brings forth fruit, in its season
Whose leaf shall not wither.

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.

So, teach me Your statutes
Your ordinances, to obey
Your decrees and Your laws
May I hearken, and not stray.

For the wicked, that forsake
Your laws, O LORD
Your statutes, have been my songs
In my dwelling place, am restored.
