Be Ye Therefore Perfect

Be ye therefore perfect, what a daunting task.
You’ll find it in God’s service then in His glory bask.
In this you’ll find power to overcome all things.
In this you’ll find love, a love the Savior brings.

Be ye therefore humble, humble in the Lord.
Then go forth and serve God by spreading forth his word.
In this you’ll find power to overcome all things.
In this you’ll find love, a love the Savior brings.

Be ye therefore grateful in both word and deed.
You’ll find the Lord will bless you in your need.
In this you’ll find power to overcome all things.
In this you’ll find love, a love the Savior brings.

Be ye therefore perfect, what a noble goal.
By ye therefore perfect, perfect in your soul.
In this you’ll find power to overcome all things.
In this you’ll find love, a love the Savior brings.

Nickels and Dimes

Ten percent, what a small and meager request
I’ll pay in faith, because I know that I’ll be blessed.
Nickels and dimes, from everyone’s income
Nickels and dimes, the Lord will build His kingdom.

Ten percent, I will pay it in good cheer
When I stand up in faith, I have nothing to fear.
Nickels and dimes, from all of God’s children
Nickels and dimes, I’ll strengthen my foundation.

                                                Ten percent, after all that God does give me
Ten percent, and I shall pay it freely.
Dollars and big bills is what I have taken
Nickels and dimes, so they are not forsaken.

The Road I Have Traveled

I came forth from the water a clean and humble man,
With a new appreciation, for the mercy in God’s plan.
This plan is full of wisdom, it was written with God’s love.
This path demands my patience, and guidance from above.

This road that I have traveled I have traveled in my pride.
I thought I had a family but now none are by my side.
I thought that I’d be happy with ignoring others’ pain.
But being that secluded was driving me insane.

That road that I did travel ended in a “T”
And I was left with two options as to the man that I could be.
I started to the left, but was told to choose the right
By two clean-cut men that were dressed in black and white.

I came forth from the water having been reborn.
I’ll comfort those that need it and mourn with those that mourn.
I’ll take upon me burdens from others that I love
Then gain a giant strength from a loving God above.

This road that I now travel, is a straight and narrow one,
That I will choose to walk along, until the war is won,
This road that I now travel, runs with an iron rod,
And I will hold it firmly, until I hold my God!
