Grace is bestowed (1 John 3:1, 1 Cor. 15:10, 1 Tim. 1:14), He holds the golden scepter (Est. 4:11; Heb. 1:8-9) Now we may boldly approach His throne (Eph. 2:13, 18; Heb. 4:16, 10:19, 22; John 10:9, 14:6; Rom. 5:1-2) like Esther (Est. 5:2) Through the Saviour, sinners rise (Rom. 8:11, 1 Tim. 1:15), we find favour in His eyes For the one mediator (1 Tim. 2:5), offerin' flava in these rhymes (Ps. 95:1-2, Eph. 5:19, James 5:13) Grace is bestowed, He holds the golden scepter Now we may boldly approach His throne like Esther Just a vapour is your life (James 4:14), don't be a waster of your time (Lk. 12:15-21) Let Him be glorified in your speech, behaviour, and your mind!

Ps. 8:1, 111:9, Mt. 6:9, 7:21-23, Phil. 2:9-10, Lk. 6:46) or grieve You (1 Thess. 5:19, Eph. 4:17-5:7) A friend of the world's a foe of God, James 4:3 to 4 (Rom. 8:7; 1 John 2:15; cf. Gal 1:4), He knows each heart, yet there's still wolves fakin bleets (Mt. 7:15-20), you Don't need to lead giant crusades to see fruit (John 15:4-5, 16, Gal. 5:16-25, 6:9, Ps 92:14, 1 Cor. 3:12-14; cf. Lk 12:48, Mt. 25:21) He's the Judge of our thoughts, words, aims, and deeds, too (Heb. 4:12-13) We fear Big Brother watchin' us in our space, so we fume But not the Father warnin' us of where flames don't cease to (Mt. 10:28, Mk 9:47-48) Burn, but those who seek Him give Him praise, He renews (1 Thess. 5:16-18, 23) So how many excuses will it take to reach you?

(Rev 17:8, Rom. 14:10-12, 2 Cor. 5:10) God, I pray they learn they were made to esteem You!
