WE ARE IN THIS WORLD
BUT "NOT OF IT" GOD HAS SAID
FROM HIS WORDS IN THE BIBLE
THAT I PONDERED...AS I READ.


THESE ARE SUCH STRONG WORDS
YET, THEY ARE SO VERY TRUE
FOR IF ...WE HAVE CHRIST "IN US"
WE DON'T DO WHAT OTHERS DO


LIVING ON THIS EARTH EVERYDAY
WITH TREASURES AND PLEASURES GALORE
WE MUST KEEP OUR SITES TOWARD HEAVEN
CONTEMPLATING THE RICHES WE'VE STORED



BEING TEMPTED...IN EVERY WAY WE TURN
IT'S HARD TO STAY ON THE NARROW PATH
BUT IF WE DON'T GO THE WAY OF IT
JUDGMENT DAY...WILL SHOW GOD'S WRATH



HE DOES KNOW THE WILES OF SATAN
AND ALSO ...OUR FLESHY SINFUL WAY
THAT'S WHY HE SAID TO CALL ON HIM
WHEN WE FEEL THAT WE MIGHT STRAY


WHILE WE ARE TRUE CHRISTIANS
WE MUST REMEMBER EACH DAY
WE'RE IN THIS WORLD... NOT OF IT
AND LOOK TO GOD AS OUR MAINSTAY!
