God Wins Over My Personal War
God wins over my personal war with His presence
Guarding my godliness-evidence
As He strengthens my faith’s essence
Toward service-iridescence
Thru His power’s persistence
Midst carnality’s insistence
And humanism’s preference.
God wins over my intellectual with His counsel
Enlightening my confusion-struggle
As He illumines my understanding’s ripple
Toward stewardship’s pinnacle
Thru His truth’s epistle
Midst doubt’s jingle
And deceit’s bugle.
God wins over my spiritual war with His victory
Sanctifying my guilt-worry
As He pardons* my sinfulness’ fury
Toward purified stewardship's glory
Thru His compassion’s story
Midst wickedness’ injury
And evil’s misery.
*Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
