Teacher

The Lord challenges me on all sides
testing my character
or lack of

My teacher
I couldn't pray
You helped meGiving me a model to pray by
and Giving an example of how to be a holy living sacrifice to God
I need to learn to go that extra mile
and to do so with a smile
to put others first.

i want my heart to be true
my secret motives to Glorify God
but deep inside, i feel like I put myself at the centre
seeking praise and affirmation
but man's praise is so empty
so are his words

I want to be real and honest
a true reflection of God's character
marked with integrity
I want to trash my selish ambition
and rotten attitudes
leaving them forever at the foot of the cross

I want to start now
embarking on eternity
living out the Righteousness
that God gave me
such precious Righteousness
Jesus my precious security

When unsure of my standing
I will take Your hand
and courageously trust in Your Love
And rest in Your Promise

I want to quit winging
about how hard the Christian life seems
But I'll be glad to share in Your suffering
You're the One who died for me

Thank You for sharing
such heartfelt intimacy
that You would be my Friend
My God
You Guide me

I'm so glad You'll never go away
You always Reign
In times of deparation
I realise, You are my Only Hope
"Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
John 6:68(New International Version)
