Faith in God, not the Flesh

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

Not Carnality but Christ

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

Victorious Suffering

Set our mind, on things above
Tho’ still suffering, not healed
Be not focused, on our feelings
Walk by faith, in our ordeal.

Chronic Suffering and Pain

So, while we may not be healed
Nor from suffering, delivered
But instead of dejection
We can rejoice, not be embittered.

Setting Our Mind

Yes, am setting my mind
Asking for God’s grace
Not stuck in life’s mire
Seek His thoughts, to replace.

Our Thought Patterns

So, daily cleave to God’s Word
And set your mind above
Keep proclaiming, God’s promises
Denounce the devil, declare God’s love.

A Key to Suffering

For our focus is body
But God speaks to the soul
Our faith, His redemption
These make a man whole.
