Christ our total sufficiency Archives - Page 2 of 5

Forbidden Fruit

Stay far from temptations
Not seeking our pleasure
Instead, cleaving closer
To Christ, our true treasure.

Grip my heart, with Your Truth
I am loved, beyond measure
Despite all my failures
In Christ, I’m You’re treasure.

So, seek first God’s kingdom
His righteousness, daily
Be filled by His Spirit
Spurn sin, as our enemy.

Well, I don’t mind a dog
Be it Collie or Beagle
But I’m sad for this driver
Who prefers dogs to people.

Not skin color, nor features
Since there’s one human race
Should be all about virtues
Sadly many, have misplaced

And put on the new man
Created according to God
In true righteousness and holiness
In His fullness, now daily trod.

So forsake selfish wants
Earthly pleasures and pressures
Instead “Here am I”
“LORD, You are my treasure.”

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

The soldiers were gambling
For Jesus’ garments to win
Concerned with the outer
So blind to their sin.

God calls us to love
Have a heart that is pure
Not blemished, nor selfish
Repentant, in Him secure.
