LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY WAYS’ CHECKER Lord God, You are my ways’ Checker Who assures me of heaven Thank You that You granted me life everlasting, never fleshly-driven To let me realize that You have me completely forgiven By Your mercy along pardon You have fully given. Lord God, You are my ways’ Checker Who builds me up in Your Word-verities Thank You that You for discipline me midst my pleasure-seeking vanities To let me stop wasting Your granted service-opportunities By Your grace to blow selfishness-caused infirmities.
