How should one live his life?
The answers may not be easy, so where should one look.
Men have not the answers, for they are found in the Book,
His love is not hidden from one’s view,
The answers are before us, if we only knew.
At some point in life there’s a trigger, a bump, a poke, a prod;
That makes one stop and listen, a call that comes from God.

Let the fog be lifted, then the scene can become bright and clear;
What God wants to provide for all those with ears to hear.
Many go the way that’s broad; it’s easy to see why,
Hard may be the narrow way the few are drawn to try.
Trials and tests may be your lot as life plays out each day,
But wisdom cries out to each one who dares to walk His way.

God wants to know ‘Do you to have a desire after my heart?’
For into you my mercy and love I want to impart.
‘Do you yearn for a heart like my servant David, willing to do what I ask,
to be humble, respectful and true?’
‘Do you have a desire to be trusting, fearless and faithful?’
’To be obedient, thankful and grateful,
To be forgiving and repent of sin?’
Thus allowing me to rule from within?

I now cry, hear my voice Oh Lord! Create in me a pure and clean heart;
And of your likeness move in me daily not to depart.
Faithfully Lord God my desire is to serve you all my days;
Seeking to please and honor you from my heart and mind in all my ways.
Oh Lord like David, one after your own heart, I long to be;
Let your Spirit fall on me, that I may be one who is full and free,
To be devoted fervent and passionate only to you I pray;
Purify and sanctify me today.

God open my eyes to your spoken plan to save all in your time and way.
The ways of the world will not win out when Jesus returns to stay.
Until that time help me to live by your Word,
For praise I will give each day to the coming King;
My heart is on fire, and my soul desires to walk in the way,
Of your coming Kingdom, for eternal life it will bring.
