Purified by Fire
As His sacrifice, living
Must be holy, and pure
For we dare not present
If defiled, and impure.
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.
Pray for the Nations
Let us pray for the nations
Yes, pray day and night
And give God no rest
Till He send them light.
Pray for Somalia
Yes LORD, open doors
Despite such oppression
Midst violence and fear
Make Somalia, Your possession.
Pray for North Koreans
LORD, open their eyes
Set North Koreans free
From darkness to light May their multitudes see.
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.
Persecution, brings Blessings!
His bloodshed, our new birth
By God’s Spirit, divine
From death, now resurrection
LORD, all the glory is Thine!
Persecution is Coming
So be ready, prepare
For our freedom is fading
Our faith is attacked
Great wickedness, invading.
