From Romans 12:11: “Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord.”

Offering our bodies to our Father
As a living sacrifice to the Lord
Forever transformed, through His renewal
Bringing new life, by God’s sacred accord
Accepting God’s will with sober recourse
Remaining faithful, God living with us
His Word, always cleanses our sinful ways
With God’s plan, a Holy and perfect plus
God’s love is genuine, filled with His grace
Stepping forward, stoked with spirited zeal
Remaining steadfast, to all which is good
Serving God, escaping heavy ordeals
Steering ourselves, with total discipline
According to God’s proud expectations
Living and serving His Holy Kingdom
Avoiding the Enemy’s temptations
Remaining patient, despite life’s trials
Providing His strength, God leading us all
Walking in faith, taking the Lord’s high road
Living peacefully, following His call

From the words of American pastor, Harry Emerson Fosdick: “No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined.”
