We call HIM ‘LORD, LORD’
We call HIM ‘LORD, LORD’
But do we heed HIS call
To love GOD with all our heart?
Do we give HIM time at all?
Is GOD the focus of our life?
Or are we instead its very centre?
Is GOD only useful for petition
Or do we make HIM our trusted mentor?
Do we still fail to see the mote
In eyes blinded by self-centredness?
Are our prayers recited mechanically?
Do we communicate frankly, directly?
Do we love our neighbour as our self?
Rather, are we myopic?
Do we value needs that are material
or spiritual?
When we come to HIS table
What can we offer HIM?
If we fail to follow HIS WORD
What else will please HIM?
If we do not truly love HIM
And do not follow HIS way
Of self sacrifice, of self- giving;
If we do not really believe
In sharing in HIS death and resurrection
By dying to pride and selfishness
Can we sincerely call HIM “LORD, LORD?”
