Our Motives

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

Thro’ His Spirit, God gives
In His people, are sown
Differing talents and gifts
That His glory, be known.

Yes, pray for God’s people
To share Christ with others
Their children and friends
For wisdom, undercover.

Jesus taught us to love
Not just neighbors, but foes
Yes, to love our enemies
If even cursing…bless those.

For to live, or to die
In Christ, always gain
No matter the price
No matter the pain.

So, restoring relationships
In place of cancellation
No longer angry, resentful
God’s loving, transformation.

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.
