It's So Easy
by
Barbara Philbrook
It's so easy to
be distracted,
as trials in our daily lives are enacted.
To have our eyes
taken off of Jesus,
and look at the things that displease us.
It's so easy to
have our attention turned away,
if we forgot to get on our knees and pray.
It's so easy to
lose our self control,
if our surrender to God was not completely whole.
It's so easy and
yet it needn't be,
because Jesus died and won the victory.
Those of us
covered by His blood,
need not be caught up in life's torrential flood.
We need not be
caught up and carried away,
if we just remember to surrender each day.
There is no good
that you or I can do,
if we haven't surrendered as we're supposed to.
We are incapable
of standing against sin on our own,
the truth of this in God's Word is shown.
But by accepting
Salvation and all it includes,
then the suffering of failing He excludes.
We are winners
by our inherited right,
we are standing on Jesus' might.
I surrender each
day my heart, body, and soul,
giving them to Jesus for complete control.
It's so easy to
face life since I've accepted my Savior,
because He is now in control of my behavior.
