The Power of a Godly Life -2 Peter 1: 3
God is the source of all divinity
possessing all the attributes to perform
showing that He indeed is God alone
enabling His own to defeat any storm
Peter speaks of us as God's very own
showing that we have all we need
to display real true godly living
coming from his fruit-bearing seed
For this to bring indeed reality true
we require knowledge down from above
instilled in us by God's holy spirit
showing real evidence of His true love
God is so good and glorious
in such a display to call His own
us who are sinners now but saved
this His son Jesus did to fully atone
The power of a godly life
this we have we humbly believe
Peter assures us this we now know
may we walk so never to leave
("His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.")
2 Peter 1:3 (NIV)
