Keeping the Word before your face Concept and meaning ever trace Continual changes in you Please God and better run the race Setting your mind on things above The things of God you learn to love Cleansing your heart so it is true Undivided heart like a dove Eternity within the heart Begun in Christ and not depart When I’ve sinned and turned away too By His Spirit I may restart Learn to live life by faith alone No schemes and planning on your own By His Word guided by each clue To heed the Spirit’s call be prone When in danger for Him you call Secure in Him never can fall Peace with God is ever in view Assurance of heaven’s bright hall The Word before your face again Best deterrent to prevent sin Knowing that all to God is due Forgiveness, glory, life you’re in
