Make my life a prayer to You
I wanna do what You want me to
No empty words and no white lies
No token prayers no compromise
I wanna shine the light You gave
Thru Your Son You sent to save us
From ourselves and our despair
It comforts me to know You’re really there
Chorus:
Well I wanna thank You now
For being patient with me
Oh it’s so hard to see
When my eyes are on me
I guess I’ll have to trust
And just believe what You say
Oh you’re coming again
Coming to take me away
I wanna die and let You give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope You gave me
The love that set me free
I wanna tell the world out there
You’re not some fable or fairy tale
That I’ve made up inside my head
You’re God the Son and You’ve risen from the dead
Chorus
I wanna die and let You give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope You gave me
The love that set me free
“Praying in the Holy Spirit.” Jude 1:20.
THESE words occur in a passage where the Apostle is indicating the contrast between the ungodly and the godly.
The ungodly are mocking, speaking great swelling words and walking after their ungodly lusts, while the righteous are
building themselves up in their most holy faith, and keeping themselves in the love of God. The ungodly are showing the
venom of their hearts by mourning and complaining, while the righteous are manifesting the new principle within them
by “praying in the Holy Spirit.” The ungodly man bears wormwood in his mouth, while the Christian’s lips drop with
the virgin honey of devotion. As the spider is said to find poison in the very flowers from which the bees suck honey, so
do the wicked abuse to sin the same mercies which the godly use to the glory of God.
As far as light is removed from darkness, and life from death, so far does a Believer differ from the ungodly. Let us
keep this contrast very vivid. While the wicked grow yet more wicked, let us become more holy, more prayerful, and
more devout, saying with good old Joshua, “Let others do as they will, but as for me and my house, we will serve the
Lord.” Observe that the text comes in a certain order in the context. The righteous are described, first of all, as building
themselves up in their most holy faith.
