Learning to Wrestle

And who doesn’t strive
To achieve in our flesh
Instead, learn to wrestle
With God, till we’re blessed.

Have you learnt to release
Every burden you bear
Let go of each weight
And sin, to God’s care.

Thus guard your heart
Take steps to ensure
‘Tis not overtaken
By those things, impure.

To bring hope, facing trials
Temptations and testing
God’s Spirit in us
Protecting, perfecting.

Get rid of the junk
In your mind and heart
Wrong thoughts and motives
That mar, tear apart.

So, if caught in a valley
Set your mind on Him
Stay faithful, and follow
Ask He fill you within.

Feel desperate within
Transform me, O Lord
Am needing great change
May grace be outpoured.

For nothing we lack
No more, can He do
Endless caring and sharing
His Spirit in me, and you.

So, be bound not, by feelings
Trust God all the way
To forgive, when rejected
Jesus forgives you, each day.

Yes, be an encourager
With a Barnabus heart
All are called to encourage
Not criticize, tear apart.
