Based in part on 1 Chron 12:32
Place In the Kingdom With You by Michael Romani Sculpting away the outer shell Until at last we find and reveal The best that we can truly be Given way until with His eyes we see The best of possible outcomes We stand to serve the Kingdom Everyone hears words of the wise Built on the rock we greet each sunrise Failing too often in what we execute Sometimes it seems the world prosecutes The goodness of our best holy plans Until I am left wondering if I'm the man Who can be the man who can be better Chasing vapors in the windblown letters Of words that we must make come true Doing less than good in seeing this through We need to look inside for our inventory Assessing where we are in God's story And reduce this to come to what we can do The sermon heard cannot be more true I must take the time to learn to truly see Putting to death things that are not the me That I need to be to be the man of service To love God and you as though it's what I deserve Always keeping my heart to what is true I look toward our good and from this take my clue On becoming more like the man I need to be Anchored by your love even in my stormy sea In all of this I number my day to gain wisdom Pushing forward to count for our Father's kingdom The question that we must most always ask Is to do what's needed to keep prayer as our task Silently discipled in my heart of quiet time and prayer Keeping away from those things I must beware Habits formed and then conformed to His Divinity I will walk and talk with you into our sweet eternity Understanding the time we live in keeping hand in hand With you by my side and in my eyes helping to understand I thank you for your love and how you help me to grow The secret of your smile helps me to settle into know The knowing of all good things that we must keep and be God could not have made a better heart to share with me Than the truth of the love that you have always given As I walk in your grace and God's grace knowing I'm forgiven Step by step and page to page we walk the long of life And I smile as you talk about how we'll be as man and wife Maybe it's so hard for me to believe that I have found you My dream of dreams that God means for us to make true (c) February 16, 2020 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
