Single-minded?

So, to live for The Master
For His glory and praise
Be faithful, single-minded
Your heart, upward raised.

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

But, for those seeking Truth
Follow Jesus, and His cross
Find new life, eternal
Must count all else, as loss.

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 our Father in heaven
Fully trust Him and rest
Wholly yield God, your dreams
Achieve, what He deems best.

Yet, as we journey on
Do think on your passions
On sin and God’s judgment
Eternity, what happens?

Then, your greatest need
God has promised to fill it
If repenting, believing
Salvation, God’s Spirit.

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

Will we live then for ‘self’
And our feelings that fail?
Or follow our God
Know, His truths will prevail.
