The closer to God I am,
the more meek I need to be
the nearer to Him I get
the more He wants of me.
The faster I understand,
the quicker I can see
surrendering all to God
will make the devil flee.
The deeper I know God,
the greater is my sin
more serious are the ones
I’ve hidden away from Him.
The earlier I can turn,
from being double-minded
the sooner I’ll not be
by Satan’s lies blind-sided.
The humbler I become,
the closer to God I get
the nearer to Jesus I am
the more my sins, I regret!
~~~~~~~~
“Submit yourselves therefore to God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
Cleanse your hands, ye sinners;
and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep:
let your laughter be turned to mourning,
and your joy to heaviness.”
