A HUMBLE LIVING SACRIFICE

 

Lord, may I always be

shouting praises of gratitude

with a faith that has been renewed

by Your contiuous grace and mercy,

by Your very faithfulness!

May I truly always be

A humble living sacrifice.

Oh may I worship You properly,

in spirit and in truth,

the way You desire.

Oh, may I never tire

of giving You my all.

Lord, may I always be

shouting praises of gratitude

with my thoughts, my actions.

May I truly always be

A humble living sacrifice.

LIFE IS AN ACT OF WORSHIP

 

Life is an act of worship,

who or what to offer adoration?

My heart dost firmly grip

just how crucial is this decision.

 

Who or what to offer adoration

is the question mine heart must decide.

Just how crucial is this decision?

Oh, it cannot be ignored. I tried.

 

This is the question mine heart must decide:

For whom or what shall I live?

Oh, it cannot be ignored. I tried

not my heart, my life to give.

 

For who or what shall I live?

I tried to make the decision

not my heart, my life to give.

But then myself became number one.

 

I tried to make the decision

to not decide at all,

but then myself became number one.

That was the beginning of my fall.

 

To not decide at all,

was to choose self over Christ.

That was the beginning of my fall.

Oh, I'm so easily enticed.

 

Why did I choose self over Christ?

It may have been unintentional,

but, I'm so easily enticed.

Keep me from my Lord, sin shall.

 

It may have been unintentional,

to serve mine own flesh.

Keep me from my Lord, sin shall.

Now, I feel like trash.

 

Serving mine own flesh

is the root of all my guilt.

Now, I feel like trash.

In my hands, my fate I have helt.

 

The root of all my guilt

is selfishness...sinfulness.

In my hands, my fate I have helt.

And of it, I made such a mess.

Is selfishness...sinfulness

the choice I want to make?

And of my life, make such a mess?

Don't I know what's at stake?

 

The choice I want to make,

My heart dost firmly grip

I know what's at stake.

Life is an act of worship.

WITHOUT YOU, I HAVE NOT EVEN BREATH

 

I am humbly down on my knees

seeking an audience with the pure King

of my heart, the giver of joyful peace.

Oh, the comfort, peace and joy that You bring

into the humble heart of this foundling

are the only strength I will ever have.

You...You...You are the only Hope I have.

Without You, there is only lonely death.

In You, eternal blissful life I have.

Without You, I have not even breath.

God helps those who help themselves

If you're wondering when I'll stop loving God, the answer is never.

I will love and worship the Lord forever.

God helps those who help themselves, this is true.

If you are in need, help yourself and God will help you.

We live in a world that is sometimes sinister and cruel.

But if God is a part of your life, life can be wonderful.

An Expression Of Love

I am gravely sorry
That you hold pain within you.

 

We share love,

Whether you choose to accept it
In your reality or not.

 

I am empathetic towards your pain.

 

I am not a psychiatrist.
I am not a psychologist.
I do not know how to control your delusions,
Only you know how to do that.

 

I do know this.

When you can clearly see,
That keeping your mouth shut,
Instead of opening it,
Is hurting far more people
Than it is helping...

 

...it's time to open your damn mouth.
