THE ONLY WAY…

June 29, 2019 by Gary Hardesty

The Only Way The only way I win is when God wins

He’s the only One that I should let control

If I should not let Him become my master

Then I am only doomed to lose my soul

The only thing in life that’s worth my living

Is doing all those things that give Him praise

Without His guidance and His Holy presence

The life I live are only wasted days

The truth in life is living in the spirit

In His direction we find perfect peace

To go your way is aimless and self-serving

We will not have His joy or perfect rest

Confusion and those things that cause dissension

Have not been given to us by the Lord

If we’re to find the truth about His being

Then we must talk to Him and trust His Word

It’s time to stop be silent and just listen

Don’t let the evil one intrude or sway

If we will find it in our heart to trust Him

Then in His love he’ll lead us all the way

He’ll make it for us seem so very simple

Because He has such little He will say

The only thing that He will ask or tell us

Is that we must now trust Him and obey

No better time than talking to the Savior

Or taking time to share His love and grace

The sweetest time to share or just remember

Is when you took the time to view His face

He will not turn His face from His dear children

Those tears He shed for our despite and sin

Should show us how He loves and really wants us

To listen to His Words and follow Him

The only way to be truly successful

Forget about you will and let Him win

By giving up your pride and selfish spirit

You’ll gain true life and joy that will not end

How can you lose if you trust your Creator?

He made you for His purpose, made you free

So you would choose to love and then befriend Him

A mutual bond of admiration see

Dear friend the only way, let go now trust Him

You will not be displeased or turned away

There is no friend on earth or Heaven like Him

By trusting Him you’ll have a perfect day

He is the only one that can protect you

He is the door to Heaven’s blood bought way

The sacrifice He made was for your rescue

By trusting Him you’ll have His peace today
