Philippians: 125 Purpose

“And having this confidence, I know I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;” Philippians 1:25

Life is a trust too holy for selfish use. 

There's a reason to get up in the morning.

Heaven gives that purpose.

And lives that purpose.

•   •   •   •   •   •   •

And lives that purpose.

There’s a purpose to be living;

There’s a challenge to fulfill;

And it always takes relinquishing

Our own deceitful will.

For we live to serve our Savior-

As His very hands and feet.

So that in all of our behavior

Heaven’s joy might be replete.

And yet this purpose practically,

Is high and deep, it’s true.

For in serving Jesus faithfully,

We’ll serve our brother too.
