Growth in Grace

"Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me Thy law graciously.... I will run the way of Thy commandments when Thou shalt enlarge my heart" (Psalm 119:29,32). "The ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He pondereth all his goings" (Proverbs 5:21). "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" (2 Peter 3:17,18).

The Lord has pondered things within
The heart He has reproved.
The way of lying and of sin
Should daily be removed.

A heart that's cluttered with these ways
Is narrowed, not enlarged.
Should not we be enlarged for praise
And grow in grace as charged?

O Lord, You are the King of kings:
Enlarge in us Your place!
Remove the error of those things
That hinder growth in grace.
