The Blessings We've Received
by Michael Doyle

Positioned by love for significance,
Christianity walks with magnificence.
We do the hard things in hard places.
In all of this, our Lord lovingly embraces.

In praise of a path that readily knows,
Our faith has daily come to succeed and grow.
Walking in this Lord's grace,
Our love of God is one we faithfully embrace.

The mysteries of God are revealed at last.
The wisdom of His ways is held fast.
In a matter of life's tests, we must hold on tight.
The words are measured, making the message right.

All the words in the world add up to praise
For what God has done throughout our days.
Moments of worship serve as our foundation.
It is sufficient in our explanation.

Across the world, and across multiple pews,
We are informed and conformed by the Good News.
The one true God demands our centrality.
There is no room in God's kingdom for our neutrality.

We are no longer under sin and death.
I'll sing these praises to my last breath.
On the road to Damascus, Paul received
The glory of God's truth was to spread as he believed.

Our decisions create our chosen direction.
God only provides His gentle correction.
Our needed savior gifts us with faith and love
So that we might live below as taught from above.

In studying the Trinity, we see orchestrated history.
Only God's great love for humanity holds any real mystery.
This is nothing we have earned, but we have been given.
Through faith in the blood of Christ, we are forgiven.

Abraham was granted righteousness immediately,
Our acceptance of our salvation serves sufficiently
To provide us a path to serve in our rightful place
And these promises are delivered to us by His grace.

Submitting our lives as we gain spiritual maturity,
We walk our way together conforming into unity.
God does amazing things through His miracles and our service.
Each member of the family lives out God's greater purpose.
