All I Want
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. (2 Peter 1:3)
We will be reading and studying Proverbs in July. We will take a Proverb a day and see what God has for us. Please feel free to start by reading Proverbs 1.
Lord, Give Me a Vision
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. (Proverbs 29:18, KJV)
Lord, give me a vision, a vision I need,
A vision of souls lost without Thee.
Help me to carry your message far and near,
To multitudes in darkness who have yet to hear.
~
Lord, help me be willing to cross land or sea,
To hasten quickly, to set the captive free.
Of thy love and grace may they come to know,
That Jesus only, eternal life He bestows.
