AS the time draweth near that our Lord will soon appear,
May we check our lives, keep them pure and spotless white,
Daily striving to be, more and more just like Him,
Getting rid of the small things we find,
Those little foxes that spoil the vine,
Lord we’re asking, we’re praying,
Help us become that stature of a perfect man.
We need FAITH to grow, it comes by hearing
The WORD
Next is VIRTUE, strength and power, to give to
Others in this evil hour,
KNOWLEDGE to judge the right from wrong
TEMPERANCE to handle our temper and tongue
PATIENCE to wait till God’s own time
GODLINESS like You we want to be found
BROTHERLY KINDNESS, Lord help us apply them all.
Then comes your perfect LOVE
Love suffereth long, love protects when a brother is wrong
Love’s not easily provoked, when evil about us is spoke,
Love is patient, and Kind to all,
Love reaches out when someone falls,
Love covers a multitude of sins,
And love will make us this battle to win,
Lord we’re asking, we’re praying,
Help us become that
“STATURE OF A PERFECT MAN”.
