Zeal To Serve God

To serve the Lord God with my utmost best…
          Such gives me wondrous zeal* 
      Driven by grace for divine quest 
                    Bearing love’s seal.

Vanquishing boredom midst slothfulness’ blight
          My faith strives to work well
      Beseeching Holy Spirit’s might
                    As I excel.

Propelled to continue despite hardship
          Braced by Almighty’s hand
      My heart seeks for blissful worship
                    Oh, blest demand. 

Joyful in fulfilling ministry roles
          I’m a yielded steward
      Thanking the Saviour for great roles  
                    In His safeguard.

*2Kings 10:16 Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD…
