Committing Yourself

Repent and Rejoice

Be glad with praise in the Lord and rejoice,
Repent as you joyfully lift up your voice;
I'm enriched and fizzing over with delight,
For our Lord's power overflows in might;
The Lord gives me faith, hope and love,
The greatest gift of all is love from above;
My heart's tuned to God's Spirit and filled,
Feeling His values becoming mine to build;
A commitment makes a total leap in faith,
I never look for conditions or do by fate;
Commit to the Lord and putting your trust,
And he will make your life full of robust;
Commit to Him your thoughts and deeds,
He will exceed your expectations in needs;
The Lord will help me not to be disgraced,
I won't be ashamed in the problems faced;
Waiting to commit your life no victory won,
You will never be able to get anything done;
I'm recommitted on every breath that I take,
And will be living my life for His namesake.
