Following God Humbly
By the grace of God, we can follow* Him humbly
As His privileged children by virtue of adoption
Duly ransomed with His mercy’s offered redemption
And called to present ourselves to Him honourably.
With God as our Driver, we are led by His wisdom
Having been illumined from sins’ obscurity
Sanctified from iniquities for regenerated life’s beauty
Enabled to advance His heavenly kingdom.
Led by the Lord toward faith-propelled service-might
We are moved to fulfill function He has assigned
While brightened to shine as biblically designed
With His truth as guide along His love’s light.
Marching by the Supreme Master’s command
We tread stewardship road of faithfulness
Performing by His bestowed skillfulness
Obeying Him, trusting His blessed demand.
*Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
