Father’s tender voice

Presenting oneself

Hearing His calling

Old ways left on shelf

 

One body in Christ

Transforming faith’s breath

Hearing His calling

Rising from sin’s depths

 

Father’s trusted Word

Walking faith’s new road

Hearing His calling

Sharing burden’s load

 

Response to Christ’s grace

Tuning in faith’s love

Hearing His calling

Finding peace above

 

Father’s righteous ways

Honoring faith’s flight

Hearing His calling

Embracing Christ’s light

Hearing Father’s voice

Every mountain sings

With faithful echoes

Praising heaven’s King

 

Showering His grace

Every valley sings

With earnest promise

Sowing trust, faith brings

 

Sending His mercy

Every village sings

With truth in His Word

Soaring eagle’s wings

 

Scattering His seeds

Every landscape sings

With divine beauty

Welcoming each spring

 

Walking in His light

Every neighbor sings

With each beating heart

Pulling on love’s strings

 

Witnessing His Son

Every sinner sings

With His righteousness

Grasping heaven’s swing

True liberty is not the power to live as we please, but to live as we ought.

From Galatians 2:20:  “It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.  And the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Arthur Walkington (A. W.) Pink (1886-1952) was an English Bible teacher and Christian writer.  Following his death, many of his writings were well-received by readers.  This turnabout established him as an influential evangelical author.
