Worshipful life
Inspired by [Romans 12](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+12&version=NIV)
Holy worship is To wholly worship Offering your all Not a part that’s small
You must not conform To worldly pattern But you must transform Having a new mind
God’s will is perfect God’s will is quite right Surely upon that You can set your sight
Now to put yourself Into the right place Don’t think too highly Of what you have done
We are one body Yes, all somebody For anybody Leave out nobody
Diverse in our parts Diverse in our arts And also our gifts Yet still one body
Given by God’s grace Give your gifts some space According to faith They will have a place
Gifts should edify And God glorify Use them to your best Thus helping the rest
And, in all this, love Which is from above Always seek to serve From this do not swerve
Work hard together Whatever weather Learning how to share And for others care
You must always bless E’en those who cause stress Do not wish them worse Nor pronounce a curse
It is right and wise You should empathise When feelings you see You’ll know how to be
Try to get along This will make you strong So you can unite To do what is right
Yes, do live at peace For our God has said Don’t seek for revenge No, He will avenge
