We Better Know ~

 

If we’re to follow the Way,
the Truth we better know
and then the life of Jesus
in our own will begin to show.

If we’re to be His light,
the darkness we better hate
so we can guide others
straight to the narrow gate.

If we’re to have trust,
the Word of God we better read
so more of His lost sheep
back to their Shepherd we can lead.

If we’re to have hope and joy,
the world we better not be in
so more of the unsaved
can be turned from their sin.

If we’re to follow the Truth,
we better know the Way
for we never know . . .
whose life we may sway!

“And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing
of your mind, that ye may prove what
is that good, and acceptable,
and perfect, will of God.”

Pressurized ~

Feeling the pressure,
from your peers
no matter your age
or number of years?

Well, you won’t collapse,
under the pressure
if you keep your eyes on
your heavenly treasure.

Being influenced,
to follow the crowd
where anything goes
everything is allowed?

Well, you needn’t fold,
under the pressure
if you go to your Bible
for a daily refresher.

Being criticized,
for how you believe
because worldly views
you refuse to receive?

Well don’t you give in,
no matter the pressure
know your faith in God
brings Him pleasure.

Being mocked,
teased and made fun of
because you rather follow
the Light from above?

Well don’t you cave in,
nor be conformed . . .
instead let your mind
in God be transformed!

If You Want To Be Transformed ~

If  you want to be transformed,
your mind you must renew
worry, disbelief and fear
you’ll need to put behind you.

Thoughts of faith and trust,
must be your way of thinking
putting confidence in God
should be your only reasoning.

Any unbelief or doubt,
you will need to get rid of
instead your mind must dwell
on God’s peace and perfect love.

You’ll need to think obedience,
if you want to know God’s will
your stubbornness and pride
you’ll need to silence and still.

If you want to be transformed,
then you must be teachable
into the depth of your heart
God must be reachable!

Give Up, Never ~

Don’t you quit,
give up, never
from God’s ways
do not sever.

Do not give in,
don’t succumb
a part of this world
do not become.

Don’t you depart,
get not blown away
be not that sheep
that’s gone astray.

Do not be adapted,
be not conformed
instead in Jesus
be transformed.

Don’t you quit,
but be renewed
lest you’ll have
a worldly attitude!

Just Passing Through ~

This world is not my home,
I’m just passing through
and I must do my best
not to weaken to its view.

Yet, its thrust before me,
whether I like it or not
but, I must not concede
to the lies that are taught.

It seems wherever I go,
I find angry opposition
so I must keep my mind
in total transformation.

Often I get attacked,
for not giving my approval
so every day my mind
needs constant renewal.

This world is not my home,
I’m just passing through
and Lord I know each day
it’s Your will, I need to do!

A Daily Transformation ~

Lord, this year I want . . .
to spiritually grow
I want the Holy Spirit
in my life to glow.

I want a mind,
that is regenerated
on pure, holy thoughts
I want it concentrated.

I want my words to be,
ones that bring new life
I want them to carry
peace and never strife.

I want my actions,
to ooze with usefulness
I want my every deed
to exude fruitfulness.

I want my attitude,
to be humble and meek
I want to encourage
the lost and the weak.

I want my reactions,
to reflect Your love
I want Your will
to be all I think of.

Lord, this year I want . . .
a daily transformation
I want the Holy Spirit
spurring my motivation!

Daily Renewal ~

Each day I’m being renewed,
I can feel it deep in my soul
every day I’m finding power
to press on towards the goal.

Each day I’m being changed,
I can feel it deep in my heart
every day that God gives me
is an amazing new start.

Each day I’m being transformed,
in my mind everything is new
every day Jesus is showing me
things about Him, I never knew.

Each day I’m being restored,
as I let Jesus work out in me
the mystery and eternal glory
in the things that I can’t see!

Are You Ready?

Are you ready to make the changes,
necessary in your life
are you willing to give the Lord
all your worldly strife?

Are you ready to stop wandering,
in the wilderness of your mind
are you ready for self-renewal
so God’s perfect will you can find?

Are you ready to make the changes,
are you ready to  proclaim
that you have a Godly right
to abundant life in Jesus’ name?

The accuser may tell you,
you’re not worthy of His blessings
but you must know by now . . .
with your head, he is just messing!
