to GOD be the GLORY
~ A New Foundation ~
By Deborah Ann
This coming New Year,
I’m redoing my Foundation
for it has started to creak
and its turning my faith weak.
I am going to rebuild it,
from the ground floor straight on up
Jesus will be the Corner Stone
so by every wind, I won’t get blown.
This coming New Year,
I’m getting back to the basics
all the wood, hay and stubble I keep
I’ll put into a rubbish-heap.
I’ll get back to the Gospel Truths,
then I’ll lay them upon the Rock
I’ll make sure they’re God proven
not ones construed by some human.
This coming New Year,
my Foundation will be transformed
and I pray it will bear the fire . . .
so I’ll be saved when I expire!
~~~~~~~~~~
“And are built upon the foundation
of the apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ himself being
the chief corner stone;â€
“For other foundation can no man lay
than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Now if any man build upon this foundation
gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
Every man’s work shall be made manifest:
for the day shall declare it, because
it shall be revealed by fire; and the
fire shall try every man’s work of
what sort it is.
If any man’s work abide which he
hath built thereupon,
he shall receive a reward.
If any man’s work shall be burned,
he shall suffer loss: but he himself
shall be saved; yet so as by fire.â€
