God gives us the riches of Christ Archives - Page 2 of 3

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.

Know faith, is our certainty
Our sure expectation
Based on our certain hope
As we wait, in anticipation.

But, if our vision is great
Let us therefore, come boldly
To His throne of grace
To obtain mercy from God
Come wholly rest, in His grace.

But, if our vision is great
Believe God, is Almighty
Omnipotent, omniscient
Then our faith too, is mighty.

And beyond death, life eternal
Before His glory, we’ll be
Assured, forever with Jesus
O how blessed, are we!

Yes, remade in His image
Now reflecting His goodness
The fruits of His Spirit
Stay filled, with His fullness.

So, rejoice always in God
For we’re bound, by His love
Let your heart overflow
Filled from heaven above.

Yes, pray for God’s Spirit
Come speak to your soul
Not rushing while reading
Lest from Him, time you stole.

On this ‘Feast of First Fruits’
A burnt and grain offering
Foreshadowing Messiah
And His people, following.
