I Yearn To Live For God
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 of the King James Bible
Ascending upward faith-performance gain
Behooved to stand against falsity stain
Circumspect while walking midst harsh terrain
Delighting in Christ’s blessings of grace reign
Enabled for service midst labour’s pain
Fervent, combatting grievous boredom bane
Guided by God’s wisdom while goals do attain
Hoisted for life-building upon truth’s cane
I yearn to stay in the Lord’s domain
Joyously sharing love He does sustain.
(ABC in Monorhyme form)
