Abiding in God's Vine Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

No Complaining – Always Give Thanks

So do rejoice, evermore
And pray without ceasing
In everything, give thanks
This is God’s will, unceasing.

The One offering Himself
As our Passover Lamb
Atoned for our sin
Will we trust Him, or man?

Fully trusting God’s promises
With obedience to His word
Being steadfastness in prayer
By circumstances, undeterred.

Set our mind, on things above
Tho’ still suffering, not healed
Be not focused, on our feelings
Walk by faith, in our ordeal.

So, while we may not be healed
Nor from suffering, delivered
But instead of dejection
We can rejoice, not be embittered.

So, choose forgiveness and love
For God’s truth, sets us free
From old attitudes, reactions
Call on Jesus, to Him flee.

So dear saint, do surrender
His Word and Spirit, alone obey
Not the world, the flesh, the devil
All on His altar, fully lay.

For Jesus only, our Creator
Living in us, He can supply
His grace, ever sufficient
Simply trust Him, and abide.

When my heart, is overwhelmed
Lead me, to the rock
That is higher than I
My shelter… You unlock.

His living waters, purify
Bring us life, tho’ we are dead
No other waters, no other way
Alone our fountain, our living head.
