Setting our mind above Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

By Faith

Yes by faith, not pew spectators,
But by faith, become His laborer,
Not wrapped up, in our own lives,
But by faith, obey the Savior.

Keep being filled, by God’s Spirit,
Walk by faith, ‘self’ daily dying,
Be not rebellious, nor self-serving,
Seek to obey, God’s Word applying.

Instead, we offer up our bodies,
A living sacrifice, upon His altar,
So be the fragrance of Christ,
Amidst your suffering, do not falter.

Yes daily build, believing God;
Knowing He, burns up all dross;
Do walk by faith, always trusting;
Obeying Jesus, all else is loss.

Keep looking upward, not inward;
As a flint, set your face;
Obey Jesus, commands and vision;
Do keep laboring, by faith and grace.

Yes, God promises us His grace;
Sufficient, for our hour;
His strength, is made perfect;
In our weakness, His power.

So how to set, our heart anew
To keep abiding in Jesus’ vine?
Not entrapped in carnal thoughts
Instead, be fixed on things divine.

And so in spite, of dark days
Facing God’s ways, not understood
Amidst adversity, we would not choose
Keep trusting God, all for our good.

And learn daily to forgive
Reflecting God’s love
For His goodness and kindness
Daily depend, from above.

Recognizing, we’re daily drawn
To sinful, fleeting pleasures
Instead of seeking our God
His holy Presence, our treasure.
