If I continue to rebel, do I really love God?
Is my heart sincere, or is it a fraud?
These questions I must ask every day of my life.
Because selfishness causes oh-so-much strife.
It is a sin of mine, there’s no doubt at all.
The same sin that caused man’s first fall.
If ever there was a need for me to repent,
It’s on me to resist the pull of constant content.
Temptation’s always there just waiting for me.
To fail the God-given resolve that set me free.
But I won’t go back to what I did before.
God, through His Word, opened a door.
That mighty door changed my life forever.
Had I read God’s Word before? No never!
By studying the Bible, I found the truth.
And realized God’s plan ever since my youth.
His plan is to give me a hope and a future.
To mend my sin’s wound with Jesus’ suture.
He died on that tree so I could be born again.
Buried in a tomb, then raised to life for all men.
I joined Him there, immersed in the baptism water.
Learning the only way to become God’s son or daughter.
God knew the enemy’s attack would cause me to drift.
So at baptism, He gave me a weapon: the Holy Spirit’s gift.
