Because God Is Faithful
Attitude of gratitude-joy prevails
In my struggles to subdue towering pride
Marked by carnality's selfish greed…
Since God remains faithful* to correct my stubbornness
So I can stay humble under His great deliverance
Exalting HIM while basking in serenity bliss.
Passion for Bible-meditation reigns
Midst sorrows when passing through trials
Striving to hurdle persecution-tests…
Because God remains compassionate, helping me conquer fright
Reaching service-triumph’s peak through His miracles
Along supplication that propels stewardship-commitment .
Devotion toward life-building thrives
Despite hardships to fulfill granted roles
In discipleship and in sharing the Gospel...
For God remains gracious, powering up my victory
While my heart praises and thanks His redemption gift
As faith surmounts unbelief toward glorious worship.
*Deuteronomy 7:9 “Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations.”
