THAT WHICH COMES FROM OUR FATHER ABOVE

The only kind of harmony we can truly have
Is that which comes from our Father above.
The only kind of love that will last and give us joy
Is that which comes from our Father above.
The only kind of peace which lies within our hearts
Is that which comes from the Father above.
The only kind of wisdom which will be of any help
Is that which comes from our Father above.

The harmony of this world is confusion at its best.
The love of this world is the love of selfishness.
The peace of this world is far from real peace.
The wisdom of this world leads to evil plans and schemes.
Oh, may we always seek
That which comes from our Father above!

I CHOOSE TO SERVE HIM

I choose to serve my Redeemer,
Because He first chose me.
I choose to obey His commands,
Because of His great love.

I choose to forsake this old world.
He has plans for my life.
He promises love, peace and joy.
I have nothing to lose.

He gives me the power of choice,
Never forces my will.
Yet he offers so much to me,
So His love I will choose.

I am free to serve Him or not.
How can such love I shun?
He offers me eternal bliss,
I will serve him always.

Man's Empty Space

Deep in our hearts is empty space
Which only God can fill.
Then why is man so prone to run
And flee from God's own will?
We human beings are nothing much,
We end in dirt and dust.
Cannot we see His promises
And learn in Him to trust?
He proved His love through His dear Son
Who for us lived and died.
Why should we seek this crumbling world
And let Him be denied?
Our Creator offers all to us
As we seek His love.
So why not give our all to Him
And reign with Him above?

TRUE LOVE

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. (1 John 4:8)

We cannot love without knowing Him who died for us
We cannot love without obeying Him who died for us
We cannot love without learning how
We cannot love without knowing how
We cannot love without denying self
We cannot love without seeing Him who died for us
We cannot love without accepting His love into our hearts

We will love when we know Him
We will love when we obey Him
We will love when we learn how
We will love when we know how
We will love when we deny self
We will love when we see Him
We will love when we accept His love into our hearts
