For those who are more logical than feeling oriented, this
particular poem may come as a bit of a personal confession. Please pray for me
that the realities spoken of in the preceding verses taken from the apostle’s
letter to the Philippians will grow to be more and more prevalent over the
course of the years that I am given while here on earth.
For those who tend to be more feeling oriented, I would
encourage you to join me not only in prayer, but in the pursuit of the
knowledge of God. For God is love!
Having demonstrated the greatness of His love toward us
through the sacrifice of His Son, He has also given to us great and precious
promises. He opens our understanding to what the practical application of love
looks like through the scriptures and then enables us by His Spirit to live out
these truths as members of the body of Christ, both in the knowledge of His
presence and for the benefit of men.
Remove from me temptation
To interpret by my feelings
Your grace which flows so freely
Through the gospel, of Your dealings;
With my soul which stands in need,
Yeah, constant all the time,
To know that You are with me
And that I am wholly Thine.
Through the channel of Your word
By Your Spirit in my heart,
Write afresh those things in secret
You implanted from the start,
That I may grow to love You
More and more each passing day;
With true knowledge and discernment,
Giving light along the way.
Oh show us how to love You
As we've never known before,
And grow in likeness to You
So that others may adore
Our Father who first loved us
Long before He gave the keys
To unlock the hearts of all;
Who come,
And humbly bow their knees.
