A Holy Life Call
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Prepare your mind for action,
Setting your hope fully on grace;
Let Heaven be your attraction,
Rather than things here that take place.
The disclosure of Jesus Christ,
Revelation to the child;
Not conforming to what enticed,
The passions that had defiled.
The former lusts of ignorance,
No longer calls to you only;
Rather by calling repentance,
For your conduct to be holy.
You shall be holy just as Christ,
Calling on God as your Father;
Judged impartially sacrificed,
In calling Jesus as Brother.
You were saved from futile ways,
As a ransomed inheritance;
That has set your old self ablaze,
When confession brings repentance.
The blood of Christ as of the lamb,
And pure without blemish or spot;
Sacrificed by the Great I AM,
The cost of sin that had been bought.
He was before the foundation,
Of the world was made manifest;
As the means to give salvation,
Unto those who have been confessed.
Who through Him that are believers,
That God had raised Him from the dead;
Faith and hope are to the receivers,
Through the Father, glory is fed.
