For Rowdy Christians Everywhere

by Dave Schultz

Be Content

  I am now more content

  than ever: I know God,

  and believe myself saved;

  I receive joy through prayer,

  and feel the Lord’s kindness:

  In Christ, I’m accepted.

  Now that I’ve accepted

  Jesus, I can content

  myself in the kindness

  of a personal God,

  seeking His face in prayer,

  singing songs with the saved.

  I know that I am saved

  by grace, not accepted

  for works, but for the prayer

  of faith. I rest content

  in weakness, trusting God

  for mercy and kindness.

  I strive to show kindness,

  learning love from the saved

  and forgiveness from God.

  This is our accepted

  service, and will content

  Him more than empty prayer.

  I am always in prayer,

  thanking Him for kindness.

  Let my Lord be content

  with these words I have saved;

  May they be accepted

  as praise to thee, O God.

  There is only one God

  worthy of fear and prayer.

  Now is the accepted

  time to seek His kindness.

  Come, repent and be saved,

  and in Christ dwell content.

  Our God has accepted

  our prayer and shown kindness.

  Be content: You are saved!
