Life Building

The God of heaven prospers us in life building* While we yield to His patient scraping shovel’s might Molding us to guide others to righteousness-light Perfecting our masterpieces by His leading. With abundant supply of provisions’ bounty The God of heaven prospers us in life building As we reach-out to the lost in His upholding Bringing them to His radiant wisdom’s certainty. Midst varied besetting rigorous challenges Coupled with tribulation for service-treading The God of heaven prospers us in life building Affirming us our labour’s heavenly wages. In the crucible of scraping shovels’ girding We cease not to teach and mentor through the Lord’s grace Assured that His power is faith's foundation-brace The God of heaven prospers us in life building. *Nehemiah 2:20 Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build.
