Following Obedience – A Poem in Philippians
Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Philippians 2:12-13 NIV
Put one foot in front of the other
It is time to do it again
Obedience is never ending
Consistency is the way to win
Salvation is a wonderful gift
But you have to work on it too
Holiness has been imparted
Living it out is expected of you
God is high and lifted up
His judgments stand true and tall
Jesus took the entire blow
Grace is now extended to all
God has a purpose and plan
He includes you in that call
It is to His good pleasure
Working in you His all in all
You are not a puppet on a string
Draw now on strength from up above
Power and grace to you is granted
Journey thru life, with His love
Leave a trail for others to follow
Make right choices that are clear
Well done good and faithful servant
Lovingly spoken, soon you will hear.
