Time to Start Loving

Too often, each day
It’s all about me
My feelings and thoughts
Too self-centered, I see.

For the God who solved sin
Thro’ sending His Son
Can certainly solve
His children’s problems.

God allows what He hates
To achieve what He loves
He permits man to sink
That men seek Him above.

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.

And so, love not the world
Nor selfishness, greed
Seek God’s glory alone
Let His Spirit, always lead.

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

May our wants and our will
Be in line, with the Lord
Lest our hearts become hard
And resentments, are stored.

Yet despite persecution
Face hardship and suffering
May Jesus, be exalted
Be His sacrifice , a holy offering.
