Abundant Now Our Lives Shall Be

Sometimes it’s hard for us to say
That things are fine and we’re okay
For evil schemes get in our way
And leave our lives in disarray

But if that happens, this we know
That God is with us when we’re low
His kindness, He shall surely show
And guide us in the way to go

For it’s Christ in you and Christ in me 
It is God’s truth that makes us free
And since God is our sufficiency 
Abundant now our lives shall be 

Sometimes it’s hard to avoid the fray
For busy tasks consume our day
And rob us of our time to pray
So daily blessings can slip away

But if that happens, we need to fight
To steer our thoughts toward what is right
And keep God’s Word in perfect sight
And thus receive God’s matchless light

For it’s Christ in you and Christ in me 
It is God’s truth that makes us free
And since God is our sufficiency 
Abundant now our lives shall be 

Sometimes it’s hard for our minds to stay
Focused on God’s matchless Way
For worldly whims lead us astray
And seek to fill us with dismay

But if that happens, we must decide
To stop our haste and choose a side
Either the world’s way with its lust and pride
Or in God’s household to abide

For it’s Christ in you and Christ in me 
It is God’s truth that makes us free
And since God is our sufficiency 
Abundant now our lives shall be
