Beholding my Behavior

Read:  Psalm 119 / Proverbs 7 / Leviticus 24 / 1 Tim. 3

Psalm 119:2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
Proverbs 7:24-25 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
Leviticus 24:2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.
1 Timothy 3:15-16 Behave thyself... God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Beholding motive and behavior,
God knows the measure of my heart.  
Am I half-hearted toward my Savior?
O let me from this sin depart!

I would not let my heart decline
To live as fools on earth behave. 
Let Christ in me break forth and shine
To show that He alone can save.
