GOOD WORKS
Chosen by love
Saved by grace
Alive in Christ
A new name, a new identity
The hopeless now hopeful
The lost now filled with purpose
Castaway orphans recalled into the king’s household
Not as servants but as princes
Seated in heavenly realms
Clothed in beauty
Such a beautiful reality…
But a question burns deep in my insides
Gnawing at me day and night…
Where are my good works?
I’ve been made light
I am a lamp but I still don’t know how to shine
In darkness
I struggle to find my way
Filled with pitfalls
Cold and full of misery
Illusions…they lie in wait to steal this light
Like a roaring lion,my adversary
Always ready to devour me
Lying in wait, feeding me lies…
And filled with these lies
I forget that creations await my manifestation

I forget….
But the voice still whispers…
Where are your good works?
Now I’m tearing off old skin
Getting filled with new wine
I’m certain that it’s time…
It’s time to shine
I must do what has been prepared I advance for me to do
Soldiers!! assemble
Hear the herald say “Arise and shine"
Like the beating of drum
The clanging of cymbals
There’s an urgency
Hear the herald say “Arise and shine"
The harvest is much
The labourers are few
Are you in the number??
Time is running out
Where are your good works?
I won’t let this light of mine go dim
I will shine
I must shine
That men will see my good works
And praise my father in heaven
Hear the herald say “ARISE AND SHINE"
Ephesians 2:10
For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.
