The voice of God tells us in 1st Timothy 1:5, "The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith." Every single day we are given is a gift from God through the abundance of His steadfast love and faithfulness. It behooves us to recognize it as such; ask, believe, and trust in the power of the Holy Spirit to teach us, and then use us to speak the truth of the fact that JESUS SAVES, in love, and then trust that He will bring forth fruit unto His Own glory and praise through the gifts He has given His church until we are all with Him in glory.
Entrusted with these gifts You gave
No longer to ourselves enslaved,
Oh Holy Spirit come and make
Your presence known for Jesus sake.
Oh saturate our minds and fill
With love's strong chords to do the will
Of our Great God by which we're sent
Into this world with time we're lent.
Oh fill with weight each precious line
Of Holy Writ and show to Thine,
Both those who know and those to come
The power of Christ, The risen Son!
Oh purify each conscious thought
With sincere faith in all You've wrought
That grace and glory may abound
Unto Your praise with joyful sound.
Oh help us now for Christ lay up
Treasures of souls, with Him we'll sup,
With all the folds and flocks gathered in
As all of time will come to an end.
