Be a part

Lord, I don't want to be left alone, separated, apart
I want and need to play an active part
It's in my heart--
Lord, I don't want to be apart from Your kingdom
I do want and need to be a part of Your kingdom!
I want to start--

Jesus....now I know I cannot live for you alone
I need Your Holy Spirit to call my life its home
There's only One Way to enter into Your rest
When I invite the Holy Ghost to become my Holy Guest

The kingdom of God is not meat and drink or what I like most
But it's righteousness, Peace and joy in the Holy Ghost!
Repentance brings your Righteousness!
Baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins 
                      brings your Peace!
And when I receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, that brings your joy!

It all adds up to a life worth living in the land of God's love
When I realize that every good gift I have comes from the Father above
I reach out toward heaven, thankful for every little thing
Then I can reach out to others with an attitude 
            of prayer
                    of fasting
                            of praise
                                    of worship
                                            in His love:  I just sing!

Thank You Jesus!

Romans 14
[17] For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Acts 2
[38] Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ
          for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

James 1
[17] Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights,
          with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
