Sermon Title – “Thyatira and the Enticement to False Spirituality”
Text – Revelation 2:18-29
Preacher – Jarrett Downs on 2 August 2009
I am a man ‘twas born in death
Adrift and blind in sin
But Jesus came and died for me
He changed my heart within
In Christ I can obey the Word
And Love His Chosen Bride
By Grace I’m sanctified to love
His love I cannot hide
But even still there is within
My sin I’ve still to fight
If I don’t follow Jesus’ Word
I’ll drift away from Light
False leaders in this World abound
Performing Satan’s dues
With whispered lies and bright deceits
They live to cloud the Truth
Lord God protect me from these snakes
The Devil’s agents dark
Enticing me to love the world
Lord God, protect my heart
They want me to enjoy the world
To play in Satan’s sooths
To delve into the Devil’s ways
To grow in worldly truths
A weakened man is what I am
A needy beggar poor
But in the Son, I’m saved to live
A deadened soul is cured
Lord help me to enjoy Your Word
To swim in holy sooths
To delve into my Savior’s Love
To grow in Jesus’ Truths
And please, Lord God, protect me from
Becoming Jezebel
Enlarge my heart, embrace my soul
To in Your glory dwell
Dear Father Kind and Savior Sweet
And Gracious Spirit Fair
I praise You for Your Holy Name
This is my humble prayer
