Set Apart For God

Set apart for God* and His teaching I’m girded in my conviction’s zealousness; Against indecency and worldliness... He anchors my faith by constant preaching! Set apart for God by His sovereignty I’m uplifted in my humble submission; Against haughtiness of selfish ambition… He breaks my pride for me to overcome vanity! Set apart for God along His wisdom I’m corrected in my ignorance; Against deceits’ grand appearance… He guides my decisions for eternity’s kingdom! Set apart for God upon His might I’m propelled in my service-engagement; Against fruitlessness causing faith’s detriment… He blesses my labor with His approval’s delight!
*Psalm 4:3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. October 1, 2018
