"Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself? Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that thou art righteous? Or is it gain to Him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?" (Job 22:2,3).
Sometimes we may think we've done
For God a real big favor
When we've shined for God the Son,
And spoken for the Savior.
The fact is, God would do just fine
If we were not around;
Yes, even if we did not shine,
Or ever make a sound.
Yet God Almighty makes it plain
That in us He takes pleasure:
If we are wise, He counts it gain;
Our righteousness is treasure.
Without us God would do alright,
But He would rather not.
For we are precious in His sight,
And with His blood we're bought.
