Seek Godliness with Contentment

Being godly, contented
Brings forth great gain
With food and clothing
We’re contented, remain.

So repent and return
Submit to God, full of favor
Desires only our good
Obey Christ, as your Savior.

So, heed a big warning
Given all we’ve received
Invest well, for our Master
Don’t hide it, deceived.

Know, in saving our life
Jesus said, we shall lose it
But if losing for Christ
We gain, God’s Holy Spirit.

As we each, look around
With our values and goals
Are they centered on Christ
And the saving of souls?

For what are you grasping
And groping in life
Is it riches and comfort
Success, without strife?

Thro’ His Spirit, God gives
In His people, are sown
Differing talents and gifts
That His glory, be known.

Do learn, sit and listen
To hear the Lord’s voice
Seek His face, and presence
‘Tis our duty, not a choice.

Yes, do follow God’s Word
Pray for His wisdom, in all
Call upon Him, to lead us
He surely answers our call.

We’re just, jars of clay
Mere, earthen vessels
Yet we choose, how to fill
Be unique, and special.
