Appropriate Approach

"Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double minded.... Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up" (James 4:8,10).

Come, draw near to God today,
But not with carelessness.
God prescribes the proper way
That He will surely bless.

Cleanse your hands from evil deeds;
Confess to God your sin.
This is all God's child needs
For cleansing to begin.

Purify your heart, and learn
To not be double-minded.
Live in view of Christ's return,
Not like this world blinded.

Humble, then, yourself before
The Lord who lifts you up.
He is knocking at your door
To enter and to sup.
