PHILIPPIANS 1:9
"This is my prayer, that your love may abound
more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
so that you may be able to discern what is best
and may be pure and blameless 'till the day of Christ,
filled with the fruit of righteousness, that comes through
Jesus Christ to the Glory of God"
(New International Version)



LOVE IS THE KEY

Love is the key to any life,
As trite as that may sound,
While reaching out to others, Lord,
Your love will more abound!

The knowledge that I need is not
my own, but yours, dear God,
And depth of insight you supply
To light the path I trod.

I really would like to discern
What's best in life for me,
To choose what's best, forget the rest,
I know you will agree!

To do what's right, in life's tough fight
Would be my one desire,
And follow the example of
The one I most admire!

But on my part it will not take
One ounce of my own power,
All that I need is Jesus Christ
Living through me each hour.
