We Praise You, Our God, For Putting Us In the Ministry
We praise You, our God, for Your compassionate ways…
Forgiving our sins and iniquities’ rays
Putting us in the ministry* for Your holiness’ praise;
Here we are thanking You earnestly for Your abundant grace.
We praise You, our God, for Your constant mercy…
Driving away our slothfulness’ deficiency
Putting us in the ministry along Your help’s fervency;
Here we are working by Your strength of diligent buoyancy.
We praise You, our God, for Your corrective chastisement…
Admonishing our stubbornness’ engagement
Putting us in the ministry, upholding us by Your encouragement;
Here we are humbling before You as we exercise disciplined commitment.
We praise You, our God, for Your delightful pleasure…
Pulling our souls from apathy’s enclosure
Putting us in the ministry inside Your fellowship of divine leisure;
Here we are seeking You by Your kindness-treasure.
We praise You, our God, for Your perfect wisdom…
Extricating our religiosity against idolatry’s boredom
Putting us in the ministry to advance Your kingdom;
Here we are learning from You while teaching scriptural freedom.
We praise You, our God, for Your gentle care…
Warming our hearts within Your love’s full share
Putting us in the ministry along Your watchfulness’ stare;
Here we are trusting You and Your generous provision-welfare.
We praise You, our God, for Your supreme authority…
Delivering our spirits from pride’s gravity
Putting us in the ministry midst Your leadership’s majesty;
Here we are following You with Your guidance-sovereignty.
*Ephesians 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.
