As For Me and My House

As for me and my house . . .

I’m inviting Jesus to come to live

and my heart and my soul

to Him I am going to give.

But, first I must make it ready,

clean up all the mess

so I’m starting with the sins

I know that I need to confess.

Then I’ll search for the idols,

which keep me from Him

the ones new and shiny

all those old and dim.

I’ll toss them all out,

replace them with my Bible

and the books of the old preachers

whom I know are reliable.

I’m making sure I am ready,

so the Lord, I can serve

because me and my house . . .

knows it’s what Jesus deserves!

Joshua 24:15

King James Version

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord,

choose you this day whom ye will serve;

whether the gods which your fathers served

that were on the other side of the flood,

or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house,

we will serve the Lord.”
