Godly Perfection: Heartfelt Devotion To God -Matthew 5: 48
Perfection is a word so demanding
all our efforts to reach this goal
it seems so hard and hopeless
all my own effort to save my soul
God speaks in authority of Himself
reveals divine truth demands respect
this God so perfect in all attributes
not a flaw in sight as you expect
Be perfect this is the word of God
you think this too much to demand
but who can argue with God the Lord
His truth always for ever will stand
This God looks for your devotion
giving your whole heart to Him alone
finding God bas your heavenly father
this love of God as your own
So finding perfection in the living God
is to be perfect as God commands
for He the perfect one knows it well
devote yourself into His loving hands
('You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.') Matthew 5: 48 (ESV)
