God calls us to walk carefully
With wisdom fear the Lord
Walk in His strength and love daily
And follow His true Word
Make good use of the time at hand
Do what He made us for
The will of our God understand
Jesus always adore
(To the tune of “We Sing the Greatness of Our God”)
Awake, arise now from the dead, And Christ will shine on you
No longer dark – but light instead, You have been made brand new
Do what is good and right and true, And bear the fruit of light
Discern what pleases God not you, Shun the unfruitful night
And as you radiate the light, A sharp contrast will show
Between the deeds of darkest night, And your good works that flow
Now some will seek to hide from sight, Their hatred for us grow
While some become children of light, Our Savior come to know
(To the tune of “We Sing the Greatness of Our God”)
I once was living in the dark
Far from my God above
But then the Father came to mark
Me as His child of love
Now in his light and love I walk
Turn from sexual sin
And coveting and all foul talk
For God my heart did win
No more of what should not be named
Within God’s family
I am God’s child, Christ took my blame
That with Him I might be
(To the tune of “Amazing Grace”)
We put off our old sinful way
We put on what is right
Renew our minds from day to day
Walk with Him in the light
We must put off all bitterness
All wrath and all anger
Ev-er-y form of all malice
All clamor and slander
And in their place put on kindness
With hearts of tenderness
Offer each other forgiveness
As our God forgives us
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
We put off our old sinful way
We put on what is right
Renew our minds from day to day
Walk with Him in the light
O God may we put off stealing
And work that we might give
Speak grace-filled words that bring healing
A giving life now live
Beware of grieving God’s Spirit
In what we do or say
And live a giving life that’s fit
For that redemptive day
And when we fail – we will repent
Our sin we will confess
Look to our Savior who was sent
To grant us forgiveness
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
We put off our old sinful way
We put on what is right
Renew our minds from day to day
Walk with Him in the light
And in our anger we won’t sin
To anger we won’t hold
Won’t give Satan a chance to win
By grace we’ll fight – be bold
And when we fail – we will repent
Our sin we will confess
Look to our Savior who was sent
To grant us forgiveness
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
We put off our old sinful way
We put on what is right
Renew our minds from day to day
Walk with Him in the light
We put off lies and all that’s false
Now truth is what we speak
For truth is beating in our pulse
The Body’s good we seek
And when we fail – we will repent
Our sin we will confess
Look to our Savior who was sent
To grant us forgiveness
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
New life with God we have been taught
Of Jesus we have heard
To draw near to Him we have sought
To know Him through His Word
We put off our old sinful way
We put on what is right
Renew our minds from day to day
Walk with Him in the light
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
Life without God – futility
With minds that are darkened
Blind to the truth they cannot see
With hearts that are hardened
Given to sensuality
Living out wrong desire
Greedy for all impurity
Wallowing in the mire
And so we were lost in our sins
All going our own way
But now in Christ new life begins
So walk with Him today
Beware of sin – against it fight
Don’t walk in those dark ways
Our Lord has brought us to the light
To Him belongs our praise
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
Now tell the truth with loving speech
To build up the Body
Speak the gospel in love to reach
The world for His glory
One another now serve in love
Enabled by Jesus
That we might be like Christ above
The Head of all of us
In truth and love now let us grow
And into Christ our Lord
Draw near to Him – His love to know
His grace to us out-poured
(To the tune of “O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing”)
