Thy Will Be Done
So, surrender my rights
This day is not mine
Knowing all is from God
Not my will, but Thine.
The Secret Place
We must seek God, alone
In the quietness, and pray
Ask God, to guide us
To draw near, every day.
Boot-Lessons
Know our days upon earth
Our stewardship of time
All our talents and treasures
Belong to the Divine.
Temptation
And while God offers good
Temptation brings evil
Understanding our choice
Be His righteous people.
Taught by Trials
Therefore, welcome your trials
Your waiting, and suffering
Since God is perfecting
Become His fragrant offering.
God Allows What He Hates
God allows what He hates
To achieve what He loves
He permits man to sink
That men seek Him above.
Pouting or Praising?
Are we pouting, or praising
Is our attitude, right?
Are we thankless or thankful
When we’re out of sight?
Perspective
Man is driven by sin
So focused, enticed
Instead, see God’s perspective
Stay centered, on Christ.
Perspective and Attitude
Then, instead of the darkness
We rather, shine bright
In place of the evil
Share His truth and light.
Our Motives
Our motives so matter
To take, or to give
Self-serving, or God’s glory
For what do we live?
