God Save Me

God Save Me

God save me

…from roast beef without horseradish
…from sushi without wasabi
…from goat without curry
…from roti without spice
…from thirst without water
…from bread without gratitude.

God save me

…from nights without sleep
…from mornings without wonder
…from tears without comfort
…from grief without hope.

God save me

…from busyness without purpose
…from weeks without Sabbath
…from life without margin
…from money without generosity.

God save me

…from romance without commitment
…from commitment without romance
…from family without laughter
…from laughter without love.

God save me

…from law without grace
…from grace without obedience
…from sin without cleansing.

God save me

…from leadership without servanthood
…from ministry without prayer
…from preaching without power
…from church planting without evangelism
…from churches with a doctrine of grace but no culture of grace.

God save me

…from discipleship without suffering
…from praise from people but not from God
…from a life lived without hearing, “Well done, good and faithful servant”
…from living for any other purpose than His eternal glory.

God save me from anything less than grace-fueled love for God and neighbor.

God Save Me
