Love not the World
Are we carnal and fleshly
Walk by faith, or by sight?
By our lusts, sensual desires
Live by instincts, appetites?
Church Leadership Ingredients
Look beyond, gifting and training
To know their heart, motivation
A vessel, wholly dedicated?
Or tainted needing, more consecration?
Teach us to number our days
We are given each day
For God’s glory, not mine
To obey and to please Him
For His purpose divine.
Our Anchor, Our Salvation
The One offering Himself
As our Passover Lamb
Atoned for our sin
Will we trust Him, or man?
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.
Our Battles are Won
For Jesus only, our Creator
Living in us, He can supply
His grace, ever sufficient
Simply trust Him, and abide.
