WITHIN MY HOUSE. I am not without obligation. For in life and each situation There must be appropriate preparation To honor the Lord within my house.
Every activity establishes a reputation. So, I must give myself to careful calculation So, I can act without hesitation To honor the Lord within my house.
For God to be honored, there must be regulation So that those in my house, whether friend or relation Know what is allowed for their participation To honor the Lord within my house.
God, in great grace, brought to us salvation And in His redemptive plan, granted justification So, living for the Lord is now our occupation To honor the Lord within my house.
Looking ahead to the Lord’s coming and our resurrection Stirs my heart now in this time of visitation To preach Christ in view of His coming glorification When we can honor the Lord within His house – FOREVER!
“To experience the presence of God in our home, Gracious Father, is the height of privilege and contentment. May we never allow ourselves, Father, to forget the presence and authority of our Lord Jesus Christ in our domestic life. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
