Are You Living a Life of Suspicion
Has your way of living been
"unbecoming of a Christian?"
Are you hanging on to things that
could create a suspicion?
Are there chains that are still
holding you down?
The victory you seek.
you still haven't found.
Is there a habit that you just
can't seem to break.
You seek godliness...
But suffer another heartache.
No matter how many good sermons
you hear preached.
Victory over sin seems to be "out of reach."
Run and flee from every temptation
that's holding you down.
Where there's sin. God's grace does
much more abound.
God says: "Draw near to me and
I'll draw near unto you."
Allow his word to teach how you live
and the things you do.
Hunger for HIS righteousness.
Then victory can be fulfilled.
Jesus will calm your storms and say "peace be still."
He alone can bring the victory
you desparetly seek.
And will give you power in your
life each day of the week.
He resists the proud.
But gives grace to the humble.
And is there to pick you up
each time you stumble.
