Philippians 2:13
To serve The Lord in all I do
is quite a lofty goal.
I’d serve Him better, if I knew
to keep commitment whole.
The meager steps I take each day
seem smaller than His worth.
Have I the right to plainly say,
“I’m changed by the new birth?”
The timeless words of Gospel song
are helps to flagging heart
for little is much, even when I’m wrong,
that hope again may start.
The Christian’s way can’t perfect be
for we aren’t perfect, yet.
The hope of Christ remains in me.
I’m ever in His debt.
But debts to Christ can ne’er be paid
for human strength is sin.
The whole of Sin was on Him laid
The Victory to win.
Now, service to The Lord of lords
is always in His Power,
that when I act or speak some words,
’twill redound unto that Hour.
Yet, even credit of my good
is crown, that I shall throw,
before the feet of One, Who’s Good,
Who more I’ll ever know.
