The Blessings of Surrender (Becoming ‘Good Soil’) 

Yes, receive of God’s blessing
First surrender each part
Not the best of our flesh
First, our will and our heart.

Temptation

And while God offers good
Temptation brings evil
Understanding our choice
Be His righteous people.

Teach me to pray

LORD, teach me to pray
To wrestle in prayer
Persistent, prevailing
Your victories, declare.

Taught by Trials

Therefore, welcome your trials
Your waiting, and suffering
Since God is perfecting
Become His fragrant offering.

Suffering Saints

‘In Me, you have peace’
Spoke Jesus, God’s Son
‘In the world, tribulation
Be courageous… I’ve overcome’.

Striving, or Resting?

But, if our vision is great
Let us therefore, come boldly
To His throne of grace
To obtain mercy from God
Come wholly rest, in His grace.

Strengthen our Faith

But, if our vision is great
Believe God, is Almighty
Omnipotent, omniscient
Then our faith too, is mighty.

Sounds Strange!

So, our God allows trials
That our faith be tenacious
Great faith, be made complete
To be perfected, need patience.

So Blessed!

And beyond death, life eternal
Before His glory, we’ll be
Assured, forever with Jesus
O how blessed, are we!

Set us on Fire

To be fuel, for Your fire
May this light, burn bright
As a beacon of hope
So lost souls, find sight.
