Lives of Devotion
So many men of action written in God's mighty Word
Who lived their lives with passion for the truths of which they heard
From others who abandoned worldly honor for their Lord
That they might live as chosen for the God that they adored
Men who had walked as common in their course like other men
No better than their brother as they too were touched by sin
But in whom God saw something that nobody else could see
A heart when formed and fashioned would reflect divinity
Not holding worldly honor as a thing to be achieved
Just living to God's glory in the way that they believed
Would be a light to others who like them to self had died
When they could see more clearly why God's Lamb was crucified
Because of love eternal love for them that made a Way
That sought them in their darkness bringing them the Light of day
That Light that is eternal that will never lose its power
That's always held in waiting in those darkest trying hours
When all the world is watching waiting for the faults of men
To rise to the occasion showing yet the power of sin
But by the grace through Jesus faith achieves the upper hand
And love seen through obedience in them takes full command
To dissipate the darkness to reveal a love for God
That will not be reflective of the path that others trod
But only of their Saviour Who bowed low to wash our feet
When we like His disciples were about to face defeat
That when we would remember in our time of greatest trial
What He went through to save us on our lips would come a smile
For all the joy surrender to His Spirit's will would bring
Just knowing in the end they would receive that very thing
That God in Christ had promised that for us is sure today
Salvation in His Kingdom that will never go away
But will be ours forever as forever we will be
His chosen purchased vessel made to share eternally
With all the worlds unfallen how our Saviour's sacrifice
Embraced our hearts devotion when we realized the Price
That God in love devoted to redeem us from our sin
That we in Him might never face the power of sin again
Psalm 91:14-16; Jeremiah 31:33-35
