James 1:22


Works In Progress


Pride, envy, and lust,
Of the eyes and flesh,
Perseverance must,
Refinement, refresh.

Selfish self seeking,
Patient suffering,
Pruning then growing,
Agapé serving.

Tests and trials too,
Distractions many,
Perseverance do,
Suffering plenty.

Rejoicing in love,
Though persecuted,
Sustained from above,
Faith undisputed.

Hope despite perils,
Fighting sight unseen,
Escaping devils,
Demons that blaspheme.

Righteousness trumps death,
Heart obedience,
Quiet under breath,
More experience.

We're works in progress,
Staying put to win,
Resistance no less,
Overcoming sin.

Running our last race,
Hurdles no disgrace,
Character first place,
Big smiles on our face.

Yet for Your sake we
Are killed all day long,
We are accounted
Sheep for the slaughter.
