That He May Increase

May the LORD increase
In my life, day by day
And may I decrease
I earnestly pray.

So, we likewise must repent
Of rebelling, and sleeping
We should rather, seek God
Not self-serving, but reaping.

So, we lift every hurt
Release all, to Him
Now laid upon Christ
Walk in grace, not sin.

And here, Jesus reminds
It’s not what we say
Our words can be empty
It is whether, we obey.

Are we pouting, or praising
Is our attitude, right?
Are we thankless or thankful
When we’re out of sight?

Man is driven by sin
So focused, enticed
Instead, see God’s perspective
Stay centered, on Christ.

Then, instead of the darkness
We rather, shine bright
In place of the evil
Share His truth and light.

Our motives so matter
To take, or to give
Self-serving, or God’s glory
For what do we live?

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

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