The cloud of witnesses, we adore,
Have stood in our place sometime before.
Surprised they're not by the way we fail,
But they wonder whether we will prevail.
Life and reward are promised to no man;
Regardless of one's lofty goals or strategic plan.
In prayer, we ask GOD to bless,
But wrongs and sins, we don't confess.
What our future holds remains unsure,
Best we confess our need for wisdom and not act immature.
How many lives will be tossed aside
Because of our self-righteousness and our pride?
We can so easily justify all our actions
Under a banner that gives the mind satisfaction.
FOR Christ and His Kingdom is a crusader's pledge
That can take any organization right over the edge.
Great GOD, who can easily direct men's hearts
Who desires us for Himself to be set apart,
Save us from our own folly and the pit we have dug.
What we desire from this life is like an addictive drug.
