Living For the Lord

Living for the Lord means I can’t always have my own way Doing things that can destroy me With the sin that I want to forget Forgive and move on to the present Living for the Lord means I put all my trust in Jesus Christ Without taking time to remember All the worries and yearnings from A time when I wasn’t full of love Living for the Lord means I give generously from my heart With all that the Lord has given me Both material possessions and the Joy of love, hope, faith and inspiration Living for the Lord means I listen to what it says in the Bible With an ear for all the good will that says What makes me live the way God intends With a sense of peace that never ends Living for the Lord means I walk away from the worst misadventures Failing to give into the yearnings of my flesh And welcoming the grace that He presents When I simply listen to what He suggests Living for the Lord means I let go of grudges and old worries Listen to the goodness He wants to show me With a faith that He will always be with me A continual guide to always bless me especially Living for the Lord means I don’t let the past ruin my future I reach out to the One who knows my heart And ask Him to lead me to the best parts Where I can give and love with spiritual love Living for the Lord means I never let anger or anxiety guide my steps Instead I take the hand of the One who is everything And give in to the yearning for a true friend The One who gave it all – He even died for me
