Basis for Boasting

"In God we boast all the day long, and praise Thy name forever.... If we have forgotten the name of our God... Shall not God search this out? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart" (Psalm 44:8,20,21).

What is our basis for boasting today?
If not in the Lord, it is sin!
God knows the difference between what we say
And what we are thinking within.

Sometimes a trial our confidence shakes,
Because we have misplaced our trust.
God brings this testing in love for our sakes
That we might not boast in mere dust.

Search us, O Lord, and purify praise
That rightly belongs now to You.
Goodness and mercy for all of our days
Shall follow us as You so do.
