Inspired By God
Inspiring our hearts to face the day with hope*
the Saviour wakes us from good night's rest
upholding our strength by His fortitude
propelling us for great progress-steps...
Let's constantly trust His guidance.
Revealing Himself to us by His instilled faith in Jesus Christ
the Lord offers marvelous, wondrous, blissful fellowship
as He exposes His perfect will through His Word...
Let's yield to Him, basking in His presence
serenity-filled and joyously blest.
Granting us everlasting life as precious gift for our redemption
the Almighty God has exemplified bountiful loving kindness
persistent compassion with mercy-anchored grace
at work despite our sinfulness and vanity...
Let's thank Him along praise exultant.
Drawing us nigh toward triumphant worship with His pardon delight
the Father listens to our honest admission of transgressions
along earnest guilt confession, humbly expressed...
Let's seek Him in the glowing beauty of holiness
midst His forgiveness for our transformation.
Conquering us against selfishness, arrogance and hypocrisy
the Master deserves our total submission to His power*
He knows what's right for us, the best and utmost
transcending our future along His divine purpose...
Let's cleave to His promises, indeed immutable.
Cheering us up with His ready comfort and enabling omnipotence
the Holy Spirit revives us against despair, misery and gloom
caused by persecutions, temptations, difficulties, trials
asserting victory over tormenting challenges...
Let's cling to Him while to others reaching-out.
*Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
