For God’s Holy Purpose – v3

Out of our love, the recognition

of the miracle of God’s grace,

God’s saving and renewing grace

we are to strive to live

for God’s holy purpose,

not out of a sense of duty

an obligation we are forced to bear

We are to offer, to live out our witness

as a gift given in response

to an awesome gift, God’s grace,

unmerited and unearned

never to be able to repay

we are to be changed creations

living a new life, within the vine

bearing worthy fruit, for God’s  glory alone.
