158 Years and Still Counting Our Blessings
as the legacy lives on we're continuing to make it great
in celebration of Berean Baptist's 158th
a monumental journey that many would find impressing
but we at Berean just simply count our blessings
for there's no need to brag nor is there a need to boast
as we are only still in existence by the grace of the Holy Ghost
for 158 years we've stayed in prayer and preparation
by giving all the glory to God for our church's continuation
when Gideon went before the Lord God
and then asked the Lord to do His part
God then told Gideon there are a few things he needed to understand
if he desired the Lord God to place victory in his hands
you must be willing to step out on faith
and willing to sacrifice whatever it takes
you must faithfully believe in the cause
for the Kingdom is at stake and there's no time to stop and pause
you need to willing trust in God's instructions
and lean not towards your own for it may lead to destruction
you need to be willing to follow in line
and keep the Lord God foremost on your mind
you need to simply kneel down to God and pray
that as long as you have a will God will find a way
trusting in the Lord and no longer stressing
having no more fears and just counting your blessings
you need total faith and trust plus blind belief
that God will answer your prayers and give you relief
trusting in the Lord to always provide
believing that He is always firmly by your side
understanding that the Lord God is fully aware
of everything that you are going through down here
praying to the Lord and sincerely confessing
repenting and atoning and counting your blessings
chosen by the hand of God and now appointed
touched by the word of God and now anointed
in the presence of the Holy Spirit that has spurred you on
a new disciple of Christ now renewed and reborn
praying for yourself and everyone else who is around
lifted up by the word of God and now planted on higher ground
now living a life of substance and not mere window dressing
making it great in 2008 by simply counting your blessings
