20 SNIPPETS OF LIVING

by Ronald Ferguson © 2021

When the world looks at me,
I want the world to see,
That the Lord lives His life through me.

We must do what is right;
Live with God in the light,
And keep our testimony bright.

We must note with our ear,
What in God's word we hear,
For to help us, the Lord is near.

In this world keep awake,
Because much is at stake,
And we can be duped by what's fake.

Be as wise as God's sage
In this bad, sinful age.
Be doves on this world's sinful stage.

With the Lord by my side,
I know I can abide;
Always, and in Him, I confide.

For God's word you must thirst,
In a world that is cursed,
So in all things, God must be first.

Keep fast what you have heard;
By the Spirit, be stirred;
Don't let your witness become blurred.

Honour Jesus as King;
Your worship to Him bring;
Give to the Lord your ev'rything.

Jesus is my true Vine.
At His side I will dine.
How wonderful, then, He is mine.

I know that I am frail.
My light is often pale.
Shelter me, my Lord, in the gale.

Lord, you more than suffice,
When sin tightens the vice,
And tries all vile means to entice.

It is sin that attracts;
From your walk that detracts.
God will help defeat those attacks.

The Lord comes in the air,
And He'll take us to where
All is glory, holy and fair.

Guard against pride and fame,
For they fast bring shame,
But be humble and seek Christ's Name.

Speak only what is meant;
Avoid the truth that's bent;
Be careful how your days are spent.

No person, you must cheat;
Be kind to those you greet,
For you'll stand at God's judgement seat.

It's good, for sins, to weep,
For forgiveness is deep,
And what you've sown, that shall you reap.

Do not the Saviour doubt,
Or live in godless drought,
But all God's mighty wonders, shout.

Man will reap where he's ploughed;
Careless sins of the crowd,
But one day God humbles the proud.
