A growing our faith Archives - Page 5 of 10 - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Full of Self, or God’s Glory?

We have one life on earth
How will it be spent
Self-effort, self- sufficient
Or lived, as God meant?

So now repentant, trusting Him
Born anew, from above
We are now, His own possession
Redeemed, by Jesus’ love.

May Your Spirit revive me
Your life lived in me
That I bring You much glory
That many others, see Thee.

Our repentance, often shallow
More remorse, and regret
Not turning and fleeing
From pet sins, that beset.

So do pray, that our hearts
Remain steadfast, unmoved
Walk by faith, not feelings
In Christ, wholly approved.

By Your Spirit, I’m reborn
By Your Spirit, empower
By Your Spirit, do direct
By Your Spirit, overpower.

By constant prayer, keep seeking
Lest we wander, and fall
Ever dependent, await
God’s Word and wisdom, in all.

With other cisterns, we still thirst But not the waters, Jesus gives
Becomes a fountain, within us
Springing up, forever lives.

And God warns by deserting
We become wayward people
As we drink, from broken cisterns
We commit two great evils.

In the midst of our darkness
God in mercy, send light
An awakening, to revive us
By Your Spirit, to ignite.
