Call Us
Call us first, LORD, to Your Holy Name,
for we are nothing if we are not Yours.
Work through us, LORD, to bring Your name more acclaim,
and let our hearts be vessels in which Your grace pours.
Call us, LORD, to be more like Your Son,
for our Salvation is demonstrated by the fruit we bear.
Let us be Your instruments, LORD, that your will be done,
and let Your will be our one and only care.
Call us, LORD, to toil and work for Your will,
for to please You brings our hearts great cheer.
Let us work, LORD, in service till
the day Your Son has at last returned here.
Call us, LORD, to serve You each and every day,
so that your glory might always be on display.
Change Our Hearts
Change Our Hearts, Lord, so we may be more like Him.
Let Your word be our sustenance.
Forgive us, Lord, for we turn away on a whim.
Call us back to You and close up the distance.
We call on You in need,
but, when sated, we fall away.
Instead let us think of You with every thought and deed.
Let us place You first in our hearts each and every day.
Let us feel convicted
when we strive for our own desires,
and then we feel conflicted
when a chance to praise You transpires.
Help us choose You, Lord, each and every time
and consider every moment with You sublime.
Immediately
Jesus called on Peter and Andrew,
At once, they left their nets and followed Him.
He called on James and John, too.
Again they left, and followed Him.
They did not balk or delay.
They answered as soon as they were told.
Immediately, they obeyed.
When we are called, will we be as bold?
What would you have Him wait for?
What would you ask Him to let you do?
With Him as master, do you need anything more?
Think instead of what you would give to be made new.
Do not delay when he calls on you.
Let Him be the greatest passion that you pursue.
Accepted
I’ve done nothing,
but Christ died for me.
Yet still I’m seeking
the approval of men in any degree.
Yet man did not die on the Cross.
Man did not give up his body.
So why is it I feel such loss,
when I think I’m rejected by anybody?
Foolishly, I try to earn,
what Christ has already given.
The very acceptance for which my heart burns,
was granted the moment he was risen.
Help me stop the works I do so that I receive;
rather bless my work because you’ve chosen me, and I believe.
To Glorify You
When I open my eyes,
I glorify you for sustaining me.
Even when pains or sufferings arise,
I glorify You, for you can set me free.
When I work with my hands,
I glorify You for using me to do Your bidding.
Indeed blessed is the man who understands,
That life for You is a life most rewarding.
When I lay down at night,
I glorify you for providing me rest.
To obey You is my heart’s delight,
and knowing you’ve chosen me makes me feel blessed.
Every moment is a chance to glorify You;
Every action, a potential payment of what you are due.
United
Jesus is not divided.
No one else was crucified for our sins.
So let His church be united.
For our Savior sacrificed, is where our wisdom ends and begins.
He died once for all,
and thus we are His.
He died, but He did not fall,
for He was risen, and He lives.
Let us serve Him as one.
Our church is His beloved bride.
By defeating death, our spirits He has won,
so we turn to him, and away from our own foolish pride.
Each of His servants should be the other’s brother,
so let us show our love by serving one another.
In All Circumstances
If I am brought low,
let me be content.
If I face blow after painful blow,
let me be content.
If I have abundance,
let me be content.
If my heart is filled with exuberance,
let me be content.
For You are God in the winter,
and You are God in the fall.
Yet You are always a faithful provider
to those who worship you, one and all.
So let me face plenty, hunger, abundance and need
because I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
