Today I am an Arminian, Tomorrow a Calvinist
Lord Jesus as I think about Your sovereign plan for me
I am moved to love You more
Every fiber is motivated to stretch in Your direction
My will is changed by Your mercy
I am compelled by Your grace
My actions follow in the paths of Your lovingkindnesses
Lord I will work hard at getting to know You
I will wield the Word like a hammer in my own life
Shaping and molding my will to Yours
I will run with endurance down trails of prayer
Seeking Your face early in the morning
And Lord, by the sweat of the brow
I will work all day in Your vineyard
And shepherd Your flocks by night
Because You have loved me with an everlasting love
This is no chore or duty
It is my reasonable gift of worship to You
I pour out my life and I wish I could give more
And as a lay my head down at night
I give You all honor and glory
Because I realize all this zeal comes from You
Every ounce of effort originated with Your divine purposes
I am only a servant of my sovereign King

“Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:12,14)
Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,”
(Hebrews 6:1 NAS95S)
