Commitment Vow
To love God* above all
Esteeming Him with pure heart's bliss
Exalting His name ceaselessly…
....marks my life commitment I vow to fulfill.
To trust the Almighty’s Word
Upholding faith's tenacity
Anchored by immutable truths…
...braces my perspective of confidence in Christ.
To fear the Lord with reverence
Awed by His compassion so gracious
Being His rescued from eternal damnation…
...straightens my worship stance in total submission to His control.
To abide in the Saviour’s design
Enjoying His bliss midst vexing qualms
Along sweet fellowship in prayer-delight…
...directs my choice against worldliness’ allurements.
To bloom in the Creator’s paradise
Nurtured by His blessings and mercy’s glow
Ministering with love-driven might…
...blesses my service in the beauty of His grace.
To do my best for the Master's glory
Pleasing Him with utmost gratitude-praise
Gaining His smile, stamp of sovereign approval
...empowers my motivation ... expressed in my poems.
*Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
