Sermon Poetry – “Lord Give Me Great Humility”

Sermon Poetry, 10 January 2010
Sermon Title – “Christian Unity and the Pastoral Ministry, #2”
Sermon Text – Ephesians 4:7-16
Preacher – Pastor Larry Vincent

Lord give me great humility
As now I learn Your Word to speak
Preparing for the Ministry
A slave of Jesus Christ

The task is great and humbling
Proclaiming Truth while worshipping
Equipping Saints Your praise to sing
Lord Jesus, grant me strength

The preacher’s called to teach the Word
Equipping saints to use the Sword
We stand by grace of God our Lord
His glory is our goal

To Christ our lives and words submit
With growth in grace, engaging sin
In battle fierce, our prayer to win
Lord Jesus, keep my soul!

I’m called to hold the Word of God
And trust its truths, in word and deed
Its words to trust, its truths to heed
Submitting to the King

Lord God I sin and disobey
Forgive my sins, I weekly pray
And keep me through the coming Day
When I will then be home
