Projects and Credits

I am born in this world, but I know not why; Yet is a plan of mystery, a project in the mind of God. He is holy and I ought to be holy, I am His property, and He's my Eternal Designer, He hath made me in His Image, and I ought to reflect His, He hath made the world for me, and I ought to live for Him, He's the ONE dwelt awhile on earth in flesh, And I ought to know this mystery in which my credits lie. His plan of redemption is the grand project, And my life for Him ought to be my credits. But where do I stand with my'credits'? I have no virtues on my part as engulfed in desires, I dream on earthly 'values' gripped in fear, I lay projects on my own; but crumpled in debits. I reap failures with my self-styled ideosyncracies, For I deny the Truth of the Eternal Engineer. How can I earn credits if I incline myself to myself, And forget the statutes of the Maker of the Life Project? My pains will turn joy if I add my projects to my credits, My failures will turn success if I do my projects without debits. What if my projects are done in selfish motive? So, here lies the way to escape debits without Self, but with HIM.
