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.

Offer all, at His altar
Our bodies, He purchased
As living sacrifices, holy
Well pleasing… our service.

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

Yes, keep waiting on God
The LORD only, our choice
Persevere and be faithful
‘Til we hear His voice.

Know hurts to our heart
Must be forgiven
Our pain, and revenge
We’re in our own ‘prison’.

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

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.

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