Abiding In the Lord
God’s grace of wisdom brace anchors my wondrous life
propped by His might and truth’s light for eternal goal
smiting doubt of lurking route along servant role
blessing heart to show caring part against hate strife.
Blissful pleasure midst worthy leisure marks good rest
as soul of mine seeks divine writ for assured hope
midst fatigue and worldly intrigue wherewith to cope
in Christ’s love from above gripping fellowship zest.
Despite strain and labour pain of struggling faith soar
I do aim to lift Saviour’s name by His strong hand
guarding sin-stress from guilt-distress, trust should withstand
while peace-cheers vanquishing fears toward sharing pour.
Precious gift grant through prayer-lift brings supply flow
for nourished growth with flourished stewardship indeed
as I abide* in the Lord’s side, letting Him lead
to build me up for a fulfilled legacy glow.
*1Corinthians 7:24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
