Lip Service
Lip Service
Father we come to the table to ask forgiveness,
Our hearts are wicked, and our necks full of stiffness.
We call out your name as if we love you,
Talking about how Your the way and Your the one we turn too.
We read your Word and pray to Your Son,
Without truly recognizing that Your the only one
I pray that throughout the day,
That my actions, words, and worship
Bring glory to the one whom came down to live and pay
Father forgive me when I stumble,
And I’m left broken and astray
My flesh is weak and commanding
So many idols do I pray
But I come to you in repentance
Knowing that my heart services it’s master and it has so much to say.
Father forgive my lip service to you,
Each and every living day.
Grace on Display
There comes a day
When a man falls down
In his hand he holds
his bruised and broken crown
It usually comes to his dismay
For he was proud in sin
Throughout his day
His false throne in his kingdom remains vague
As he cries his thoughts are disruptive, haunting and plagued
And Satan stands above claiming the day
Before the Light comes into play
But the scene changes quickly when he chooses to say
The name of the great Redeemer
Who washes the sin away
Jesus Christ The Lord
The Creator of the clay
Has changed his life forever
And it’s to whom he must obey
In his current state
He knows he cannot stay
For he has been shown
The Truth, the Light, the Way.
The cost was heavy, but it was He whom chose to pay
So that we could walk in the light
As God’s grace on display.
