Pursuits

1 John 2:28-29 And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.

Lord help us to live
As you would today
Help us to flee sin
To not go astray.

The promise you give
The hope that you place
Help us with righteousness
To abide in your grace.

Lord help us to flee
All this world shows
The sin filled lusts
The desires that grow.

Parading endless desires
Satan knows we are weak,
But Lord it is you
With all our hearts we seek.

The promise of Heaven
The rescue from Hell,
Your atoning sacrifice
Has made us well.

This battle we endure
The mind games that are played,
The tactics of our enemy
Are not openly displayed.

Our battle is fought
Already you have won,
Our souls eternally secure
Understanding what you’ve done.

Strength is found each day
By seeking you with our heart;
You promise us in your Word
From us you will not depart.
