Great Life Lessons
To love God* above all is such a great lesson
That’s to esteem Him with pure heart’s reason
Seeking Him ceaselessly by His light’s beacon
As my life’s fully surrendered to Him, I reckon.
To fear the Lord with reverence is truly vital
Doing so for wisdom-gaining is fundamental
To keep me from sin that’s perilous and fatal
Moving me to His blessings in their grand total.
To trust God’s Word is a principle I cherish
As my faith stands midst philosophies that easily perish
Upheld by His truth mere opinions can’t tarnish
In His confidence He does readily furnish.
To stay in His will is what I must remember
For that’s the best choice I have as a saved sinner
I’ll abide in Him, by His mercy, quitting never
Blooming where He planted me in His grace and power.
To flee from worldly influences is my firm conviction
Overcoming pride, flesh and vanity’s temptation
As I walk through the Spirit’s confirmation
While in His fellowship I bring to Him my petition.
To follow godly instruction is my commitment
Obeying His commands gives me sense of fulfillment
Reaching His standards sets my heavenly attainment
Pleasing Him thru my stewardship’s assignment.
To serve God, working with joy is to me so exciting
While depending fully on His might that’s uplifting
I strive to be His steward humble for His instructing
Laboring for Him is a great privilege worth appreciating.
*Mark 12:30 “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.”
