Falling or Following

"Beware, lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen" (2 Peter 3:17,18).

The only two options before us today
Regarding our walk with the Savior
Are earnestly following Christ in His way
Or falling from steadfast behavior.

Now grow in the grace of our Savior and Lord,
Exploring His wisdom and power,
Pursuing His love as your greatest reward,
Redeeming the time every hour.

Beware of the error of wearisome duty
Replacing your joy, when enticed!
Discover afresh the unsearchable beauty
Beheld in our Lord Jesus Christ!

To Him be the glory both now and forever,
With grace that increases still more,
In worship, in word, and in every endeavor
With joy that our Lord will restore!
