The fleeting or the eternal? Archives - Page 2 of 5

A Starter… or a Finisher?

So dear saint, learn God’s lesson
Jesus tells us abide
In His vine, lest we’re pruned
Cast away, for our faith died.

“You will show me, the path of life
In Your presence, fullness of joy
Weeping, may endure for a night
But in the morning, comes joy.”

For we’re made, for His glory
For His will, and pleasure
Our life, is not ours
We are His special treasure.

Now, in place of carnal thinking
That feed our feelings, reactions
We’re renewed, in our minds
And godly thoughts, lead to actions.

Yet our Master, Creator
Set limits, in love
Has given us guidance
The true Captain, above.

For we’re given free will
Seek eternal treasures
Yes, choose God and His ways
Not fleeting, fleshly pleasures.

Are you pressing on upward
To reach higher ground
Are you seeking the Lord
In His presence be found?

you hungry and thirsty
To draw nearer, to God’s Presence
Know more of His love
And taste more, of His essence?

Since neither hot, nor cold
He would vomit them out
While they claimed to be rich
Needing naught, not without.

There, discover our answers
In Christ Jesus, God redeeming
We are made, for God’s purpose
By His Spirit, fulfill our meaning.
