New Birth Through Truth

God chose to give us new birth,
Through His word of truth, a priceless worth.
Encouraged to live transformed lives,
Reflecting His love, where true grace thrives.

Rid yourselves of moral filth and sin,
Seek purity, let holiness begin.
Remove the negative, the evil cast aside,
In God’s light, let integrity abide.

Not just hearers, but doers we must be,
Living out our faith for all to see.
True religion, caring for those in need,
Orphans, widows, our compassion must lead.

Thank God for blessings, His goodness embrace,
In gratitude, acknowledge His unchanging grace.
May His word transform, our hearts renew,
Reflecting His truth, in all we do.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
