Shame-Blame Cycle

But, if we’ve a low esteem
Always carrying, chronic shame
Subconsciously, ever struggling
Feeling guilt, so casting blame.

Shame, Disclaim, Blame

When failing, we do wrong
Try to bury, in shame
Then, blame on another
While lies excuses, we proclaim.

Church Leadership Ingredients

Look beyond, gifting and training
To know their heart, motivation
A vessel, wholly dedicated?
Or tainted needing, more consecration?

Let Go, and Let God

“Not by might, nor by power
But by My Spirit” says the LORD
So that His will, be done
We then see, blessings poured.

Renewing the Church

Seem so few, will die to self
So ask Jesus, to start using
My life holy, be His witness
Disciple-making, reproducing.

Attitudes and Habits

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

Surrender

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

What Does God Expect of Me?

Be teachable, be open
As clay in God’s hand
Humble, repentant
Obey, all He commands.

Our Stepping Stone, Our Rock

As our LORD, and our King
May we never bring shame
As His child, bring but honor
Daily glorify, His Name.

The Mission Driven Church

With those gifted, to equip saints
For the work of the ministry
Edifying, the body of Christ,
To go multiply, in each vicinity.
