If we let our guard down, we'll find ourselves drifting.
We won't be alert and constantly sifting
The wheat from the chaff and the good from the bad.
We'll not know we're slipping, and that is so sad.
Little by little our sight becomes blurred.
The words of the Spirit may not e'en be heard.
In this late hour we must stay alert.
Issues today we just cannot skirt.
Let us bow before God and make our hearts right,
Repent of our sins, though ever so slight.
Our God is merciful, patient and kind.
Let the "bent" of our lives to Him be inclined.
"Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens."
Lamentations 3:40-42 KJV
"It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:22-23 KJV
