Do Whatever

Do you think you can do things on your own
Without God’s help?
You are not doing anything on your own my friend
He is there helping you
Whether you realize it or not
It doesn’t matter
Just give credit when credit is due
And know when, why, what, and where
He is the force behind your incredible strength
The endless energy
The reckless abandonment
The one that you call yours
Are you sure it’s from you
And not from Him?
You don’t have anything 
Without Him giving it to you
So don’t be proud
Haughty
Lest you fall
You are nothing of your own
You are everything
Because He gives it to you
So think of it the next time
You take a leap
He is the one who makes it
And breaks it
So be 
Dare
Do
But be sure you give Him what is due
The total acknowledgement
The power beyond
The incredulous bewilderment
The utmost appreciation
You are there because He carried you there
So give
Sing
Do whatever you have to do
But let Him know
That you appreciate
Adore
Love what He is doing 
In your life
That you wouldn’t be here
If it wasn’t for Him
So start, will you?
Don’t let it go unknown
Let he who knows
Says he knows
And he who does not know
Gives One the praise
But be quick about it, okay?
