It is truly honourable
When we do the right thing;
When we act with sincerity
And where much fruit this will bring.
It’s always welcomed
When we’re faithful in our deeds;
In those tedious and boring tasks
And where patience is shown indeed.
It is the right thing
To be kind and loving as well;
Understanding and compassionate
Where with peace and joy we dwell.
It is the correct way
To be humble in all we do,
And not presumptuous or proud
Or not selfish and greedy too.
It’s a beautiful thing
To be hospitable and kind,
When the motive is correct
Not for rewards that we can find.
But do we really know
That we can do all the above,
And still be cast from God’s presence
Where we’ll never feel His love?
Because to be self-righteous is a sin
When we attribute all those ways,
To our own goodness and our kindness
Rather than the price that Jesus paid.
God wants to know us intimately
Where we share our every thought,
And ask for His forgiveness
Knowing with Christ’s sacrifice we’re bought.
We all fall short in many ways
And can never atone for our sin,
That’s why we need Jesus Christ
Who was spotless and pristine within.
He paid the price for our soul
By hanging on the cross;
He shed His blood to set us free
From God’s inevitable wrath.
Because Jesus sets us free
From our failures and depression;
He calms our soul within
As His word teaches us great lessons.
God is the one who transforms us
To give us a joy and hope within;
All else is truly temporary
With frustrations they can bring.
When we believe we are ‘good’
God shows that good in only One,
The Heavenly Father who is pure in all His ways
And who gave His only Son.
So next time we are tempted
To be puffed up in our ways,
Let’s remember the ultimate price
And be repentant as we pray.
