Friendship With God
Enjoy your friendship with the almighty God
Who owns you as His child by virtue of the Savior’s redemptive blood
Whom you should submit to beyond willingness’ nod
With “My life is Yours; make it fruitful using Your staff and rod…
…While nourishing me midst Your blessing-flood.”
Delight in your friendship with the mighty Deliverer
Who rescues you as His ransomed thru His ready power
Whom you should rely on when fighting the devouring seeker
With “My gratitude is Yours; welcome it as coming from a truthful worshiper…
…While securing me inside Your peacefulness-cover.”
Treasure your friendship with the majestic King
Who reigns above you as His citizen thru His supreme celestial marking
Whom you should bow down to against worldly trekking
With “My heart is Yours; guard it from hypocrisy’s lurking…
...While granting me the pure motives of holy deeds I’m asking.”
Cherish your friendship with the sovereign Lord
Who leads you as His steward to be faithful according to His Word
Whom you should cleave to in overcoming selfishness’ discord
With “My commitment is Yours; seal it against infidelity’s sword…
…While keeping me inside Your grace only You can afford.”
Grow in your friendship with the perfect Creator
Who fashions you as His masterpiece, workmanship of omniscient operator
Whom you should esteem along your whole body-motor
With “My labor is Yours; approve it, being the wisest evaluator…
…While developing me for effective service, since You’re the best educator.”
Thank your friendship with the chief Shepherd
Who guides you as His lamb by His voice which can be spiritually heard
Whom you should abide in to fulfill fully what’s required to be offered
With “My sacrifice is Yours; accept it midst prayers I’ve humbly uttered…
…While restoring me whenever from Your revival I’m severed.”
Affirm your friendship with the righteous Authority
Who rules over you as His follower throughout triumphant eternity
Whom you should obey for glorious ministry upon genuine sincerity
With “My love is Yours; nurture it around Your mercy-compassion’s bounty…
…While ushering me toward Your will of victorious certainty.”*
*Psalm 62:7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
