All We Can Be
God says we are loved, but this we doubt
He's met our needs, but we go without
He's called us holy and yet we sin
We often opt out when He calls us in
He gives us life but we choose to be dead
Often going hungry when we could be fed
We struggle in weakness instead of being strong
Our claims to be right often show us we're wrong
What God says we are, we sometimes deny
We say we're defeated then don't even try
We ask God to speak, when He does we don't hear
He says live in hope, yet we die in our fear
We live with the old, never knowing the new
We stay where we are, never seeing things through
We claim to have faith, and then don't believe
That all God has promised, we can receive
We must make the choice, to live, or to die
To take on the Truth, or trust in the lies
God gave us Jesus so we could be free
But all that we choose is
All we can be
