Deny self Archives - Page 4 of 8 - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

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?

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.

Daily follow and abide
Lift to Him, every thought
As I feed on Your Word
Obey all I am taught.

In the midst of our darkness
God in mercy, send light
An awakening, to revive us
By Your Spirit, to ignite.

Shake us and wake us
Revive us O Lord
Send down the fires
May Your Spirit be poured.

For our focus is body
But God speaks to the soul
Our faith, His redemption
These make a man whole.

Be repentant, not rebellious
Obedient, His Spirit-filled
Submitted, not stubborn
Seek God, not self-willed.
