Counting our Blessings
So many riches, in Christ
We are rich, beyond measure
A weight of glory, eternal
In Christ Jesus, our treasure.
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?
‘Self’…My Old Nature
So now repentant, trusting Him
Born anew, from above
We are now, His own possession
Redeemed, by Jesus’ love.
Are You Needing to Change?
Daily follow and abide
Lift to Him, every thought
As I feed on Your Word
Obey all I am taught.
Be Steadfast
So do pray, that our hearts
Remain steadfast, unmoved
Walk by faith, not feelings
In Christ, wholly approved.
God’s Fountain, or Our Cisterns?
With other cisterns, we still thirst But not the waters, Jesus gives
Becomes a fountain, within us
Springing up, forever lives.
Rivers of Living Waters
And God warns by deserting
We become wayward people
As we drink, from broken cisterns
We commit two great evils.
Jesus Said So…A Certain Faith
Know faith, is our certainty
Our sure expectation
Based on our certain hope
As we wait, in anticipation.
There Nothing Fades
Yes, our new heavenly home
All so perfect, and pure
Our eternal abode
And forever secure.
The Fig Tree
Not our knowledge, our ‘leaves’
Our sin, we can’t cover
For God sees our hearts
Any sweet fruit, to discover?
