We Call Him Lord!

Oh Lord, Thou Art my God!
We sing and pray!
Yet not his voice we do obey?

Appease the flesh,
Fulfill the lust,
Life is short,
We'll soon be dust!

We soon come crashing to our knees,
The lust of flesh was short appeased.
He let us have our selfish ways,
We turn to Him in groping daze.

He whispers to our soul's despair,
In loving gentleness and care,
You called Me "Lord", as true I am,
I am the God that truly CAN.

But Faith and Actions go together,
and my authority will make you better.
In obedience, to my word,
You will experience things unheard.

I know what's best
For you and yours.
It's peace I give,
and yours to take,
That makes that place
Of perfect rest.

You call me "Lord"!
And that I am.
Now walk in Faith,
and take my hand,
For yes, to you
I am the God that Can!
