By God's Grace And For His Glory

I think we are learning there is still
SO much to learn through what we are learning!
Turning our eyes to Jesus like never quite before and seeing ourselves like never before...
prone to wander...in fear, anxiety, doubt, want, pride, selfishness, etc...

By God’s grace and for His glory Pray that we will learn to live

Not for foolish self’s mad dash of worry-riddled take and give

But with mercy as our mentor and with Heaven as our goal

Pray that we are meek contenders for the prize claimed by the soul

By the witness of forefathers by the same faith that was tried

By the storms that strew and shatter monuments of deadly pride

By yielding, not to the Doubter but to perfect promises

By the Inner, not the outer to secure true happiness

Pray that we learn to be kinder than we were in yester-days

Sometimes loss is the reminder that we need to reappraise

Reappraise mindset’s direction lest some flaw we overlook

No one is above correction or the Master’s pruning hook

By God’s grace and for His glory pray that we make this our quest

Soon the pages to the story we are writing will be pressed

Into Past’s vast recollection where pray, we have learned to live

With a more thankful reflection which God’s grace and glory give
