Our New True Self

As you look in the mirror
Who do you see
A child of the King
Or, the old fallen ‘me’?

Awaiting Your coming
Our hope, so blessed
Your glorious appearing
Unfailing love, expressed.

Our life is a garden
We tend, and we sow
Bright flowers, or weeds
We choose what will grow.

So, by faith offering God
What is pleasing to Him
Believe that He is
Rewards those seeking Him.

For in Him, resurrection
We arise from the dead
To an inheritance, incorruptible
That for us, waits ahead.

May our leaders, seek God’s wineskins
A fresh vison of Jesus’ call
A holy people, disciple-making
Going forth and reaching all.

Since this vessel, is dry
I come open, and empty
O Lord, come and fill
From Your rivers of plenty.

Control and compel me
Conform me to Christ
Consume all the dross
His blood has sufficed.

As we worship our King
No distractions, nor despair
No trials, nor temptations
All perfect splendor, forever there.

No longer to struggle
In life’s battles, then lose
A new creature in Christ
For His glory, to use.
