Keep Looking Upward…. Not Inward!

Keep looking upward, not inward;
As a flint, set your face;
Obey Jesus, commands and vision;
Do keep laboring, by faith and grace.

Since our body, is God’s temple;
Is not our own, we must be pure;
Be not tainted, with pollution;
Sin ruins lives, yet even more.

Are using Scripture, not as a mirror;
But as a weapon, to beat others;
And so, break God’s commands;
For they fail, to love another.

Her family, above fame;
Godliness, not success;
Let us arise and esteem her;
For this wife, is the best.

You find a deep need;
To have your own way;
So, the plans of all others;
Must follow your say.

So, grow your faith, pleasing God;
Open wide your mouth, Lord fill it;
Believing God, is all able;
For Your glory, send Your Spirit!

Yes, God promises us His grace;
Sufficient, for our hour;
His strength, is made perfect;
In our weakness, His power.

A heart in God’s people;
To be discipled, and go;
To make disciples, multiplying;
That all peoples may know.

So listen not, to your feelings;
No dark thoughts, in your mind;
Set your heart, and call on Jesus;
Claim His Word, in prayer remind.

With our freedoms and rights;
We so soon, are self-serving;
Then in place of surrender;
We’re caught up, with our yearnings.
