Philippians 2:12
Sometimes to myself,
I have a long talk . . .
I ponder how I’ve walked
the faithful walk.
I dwell on my hope,
with care I think about
the times I trusted God
and those full of doubt.
Sometime to myself,
I sit and meditate . . .
with fear and trembling
my faith I contemplate.
I dwell on my Savior,
all He’s done for me
how He’s given me hope
in things I want to see.
Sometimes to myself,
I have a long chit-chat . . .
knowing my salvation
I’ll always need to work at!
~~~~~~~
Wherefore, my beloved,
as ye have always obeyed,
not as in my presence only,
but now much more in my absence,
work out your own salvation
with fear and trembling.

You can pursue God’s Word,
whenever you want
but if you don’t apply it
what have you got?
You can study your Bible,
all night and all day
but if you don’t obey it
you’ll just lose your way.
You can go to church,
sit in your Sunday pew
but, the rest of the week
what is it that you do?
You can go to small groups,
share all you know
but, if you don’t live it
it is all done for show.
You can read and study,
sermons you can hear
but, is God working in you
trembling and fear?

Be merciful towards me Lord,
I’m working out my salvation
with fear and trembling . . .
I’m going to win every temptation.
Be gracious towards me Lord,
I’m working to remain in Your love
with fear and trembling . . .
I’m storing my treasures up above.
Be patient towards me Lord,
I’m working to find true peace
with fear and trembling . . .
I’m looking for grace to increase.
Be gentle towards me Lord,
I’m working out Your written Word
with fear and trembling . . .
I’m practicing the truth I’ve heard.
Be compassionate towards me Lord,
I’m working hard to comprehend
with fear and trembling . . .
the fullness of You, my eternal Friend.
Be long-suffering toward me Lord,
I’m laboring to enter into Your rest
with fear and trembling . . .
I’m giving to You, my very best.
Be merciful towards me Lord,
I am working out my salvation
with fear and trembling . . .
till the day of Your glorious perfection!
