Biblical Spiritual Characteristics
The christian way is no easy task
God's call is a call to fully endure
many obstacles have to be overcome
but victory's assured for God is sure
A true christian shows real godliness
having deep humility to put others first
denying one's self have no worldly want
only God fills one with spiritual thirst
This thirst clearly is heaven sent
producing eternal kingdom affection
to renounce the worlds pleasures
so give the Lord full attention
God sends his spirit in one's heart
producing His character to bless
living holy lifes to give Him glory
putting on our gifted godly dress
So live truly for God alone
display yourself to be holy true
brings pleasure to God our Lord
eternal always forever to do
