To Live By His Authority

leave all your burdens 
at the foot of the cross
shed the garments of despair 
and allow God to be the boss
get out from under 
that heavy and dark shroud
come into the light of God 
and with His grace stand bold and proud
talk to him daily 
for of your thoughts He is concerned
embrace the Holy Ghost 
and acquire the spirit to discern
give Him all the praise 
and the glory that He is due
worship Him and ackowledge his son 
Jesus as your savior true
relinquish the desires of the world
and reach for higher ground
study on the Word that He sent
and let peace in you be found
follow the path that He has set for you
and learn of your chosen destiny
as a new creation in Christ
you now live by His authority
