The Winning Formula -1 Timothy 6: 6

Looking above for divine wisdom
that’s where you believe it’s found
but it’s found within the holy scriptures
where the truth is so fully sound

Filling oneself with a holy godliness
one which shows God’s righteous state
the almighty full of power and splendour
who holds you together not left to fate

Mix this godliness with something sweet
the sweetness of divine contentment
granting a deep[ peace in your soul
from this position of spiritual betterment

The greatness of this awesome blessing
is such a wonder for one to behold
in this we receive such great gain
such a jewel can’t even compare gold

This is such a winning formula
godliness and contentment never to tear
holds your heart in such constant peace
that makes no need to ever fear


(‘Godliness with contentment is great gain’ 1 Timothy 6: 6 )
