Set free in Christ Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Ever, Give Thanks

We’re made to give thanks
Praise God’s Holy Name
Yes, whatever our lot
Be grateful, all the same.

Like the Psalmist of old
We cry out, poor and needy
Do preserve us, O God
Save your servants, our entreaty.

This Christmas, remember
The gift that God gave
His beloved dear Son
To seek and to save.

In God’s Vine, keep abiding
As His branch, bearing fruit
Stay dependent, keep praying
Christ-likeness, your pursuit.

Remember our brethren
In starvation and need
Persecuted, forgotten
Daily, do intercede.

For You call me to partner
In Your image I’m made
To pray without ceasing
And see lives, remade.

We pray, a great harvest
Throughout Libya, it’s people
Muslims embracing Christ
Turned from darkness and evil.

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

How God frees from bondage
All those, captive to sin
Jesus’ blood, our atonement
To cleanse of leaven, within.

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