| Faith |
|
Jesus knew that we'd have trouble, With grief churning in our mind. But, He has given us His faith, So heavenly thoughts we'll find. We take captive every thought To make it obedient unto Him. We demolish all that rises up Against God. For, it is sin. We put on the new self, Created in true righteousness. We grasp the depth of His grace for us As reality in consciousness. We get rid of all our bitterness, Anger, and all malice To be kind, compassionate, and forgiving; Fit, then, for His palace. We rely on the love of God. For, this, alone, drives out fear. His perfect love is complete in us. No punishment is near. We (rejoice in the Lord, always), With gratitude, lay all beneath His feet. Choosing to think lovely and pure Will make our peace complete. 2 Cor 10:15, Eph 3:18, Eph 4:31, 1 John 4:16, Phil 4 |
