May Our Life Honor Christ

May Our Lives Honor Christ!

Let’s live in a way that's
 honors Christ our Lord!
Neglecting his word... 
We can’t afford!

It’s HIS will to be sanctified 
and avoid immorality.
If we don't--it will lead to 
a spiritual fatality.

With God's help... our bodies... 
we must control.
God's instructions for holiness
 we ought to know.

The sins against the body 
will not go unpunished.
As our spiritual life needs to
 be daily replenished.

God has called us to be holy! 
And not impure.
His word in our life,
 we must daily secure!

Whoever rejects his instruction ...
also rejects HIM.
And will lose out on what it means
 to be free from sin!

Seeking a Godly life must be 
our goal and ambition.
Having Jesus in us,
 is a great addition!

Living a pure life is 
what we must do.
Jesus has the power
of victory for me and you!
