Faith or Frustrations?

Not to dwell, on sin and failure
Rather focus, on the LORD
See beyond, my upset feelings
Trusting God, see blessings poured.

So like Israel, we too co-habit
Instead of purging, die to self
Compromising, we let our flesh
Pursue the carnal, and worldly wealth.

So our heart, we must examine
Must guard, keep sealed
To be healthy, not hardened
Circumcised, not diseased.

Cry out for forgiveness
Accept Jesus’ gift
Exchange our rebellion
His death, bridged the rift.

Incline our hearts
Walk all His ways
Do all God says
All of our days.

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.

A new creature in Christ
The old, has passed away
A circumcision, without hands
Jesus opened, a new way.

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