Be Content
I am now more content
than ever: I know God,
and believe myself saved;
I receive joy through prayer,
and feel the Lord’s kindness:
In Christ, I’m accepted.
Now that I’ve accepted
Jesus, I can content
myself in the kindness
of a personal God,
seeking His face in prayer,
singing songs with the saved.
I know that I am saved
by grace, not accepted
for works, but for the prayer
of faith. I rest content
in weakness, trusting God
for mercy and kindness.
I strive to show kindness,
learning love from the saved
and forgiveness from God.
This is our accepted
service, and will content
Him more than empty prayer.
I am always in prayer,
thanking Him for kindness.
Let my Lord be content
with these words I have saved;
May they be accepted
as praise to thee, O God.
There is only one God
worthy of fear and prayer.
Now is the accepted
time to seek His kindness.
Come, repent and be saved,
and in Christ dwell content.
Our God has accepted
our prayer and shown kindness.
Be content: You are saved!
