Lord, and He will exalt you.
I Peter 3:3,4,8
NLT
3 Don’t be concerned about the
outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful
clothes.
4 You should clothe yourselves
instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty
of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.
8 Finally, all of you should be of
one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and
sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude.
I Peter 5:5,6
KJV
5 Likewise, ye younger, submit
yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another,
and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth
grace to the humble.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under
the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time:
Is
Thy Heart Right With God?
Have thy affections
been nailed to the cross?
Is thy heart right
with God?
Dost thou count all
things for Jesus but loss?
Is thy heart right
with God?
Chorus:
Is thy heart right
with God,
Washed in the
crimson flood,
Cleansed and made
holy, humble and lowly,
Right in the sight
of God?
Hast thou dominion
o’er self and o’er sin?
Is thy heart right
with God?
Over all evil
without and within?
Is thy heart right
with God?
Is there no more
condemnation for sin?
Is thy heart right
with God?
Does Jesus rule in
the temple within?
Is thy heart right
with God?
Are all thy pow’rs
under Jesus’ control?
Is thy heart right
with God?
Does He each moment
abide in thy soul?
Is thy heart right
with God?
Art thou now
walk-ing in hea-ven's light?
Is thy heart right
with God?
Is thy soul
wear-ing the garment of white?
Is thy heart right
with God?
