Fruits of Righteousness

Know ye not, that when a sinners sins are blotted out
A multitude of sins are hid, of this there is no doubt
Washed away by Jesus precious blood, That Crimson Flow
Anchored in Jehovah, then the joys of Heaven know

Forgiven, then a babe in Christ, he learns to walk each day
Holding on and trusting in, God's Grace to lead the way
Ever learning and confiding, in his new found friend
cherished moments on his knees, he wish would never end

Hiding God's Word in his heart, he feeds his soul each day
So he can please his Great Creator, while here in his stay
Sharing with each one he meets, this joy he feels inside
No he is not ashamed of God, his heart is filled with pride

He's working and he's praying, much fruit he's bearing now
He's leading souls to Jesus, through the love of God somehow
This world cannot withstand the wisdom and the love he shows
Why he's just like a flaming fire, his light so brightly glows

Now all those souls he's won to Christ, have gone and done the same
And everywhere it's spreading, people's lifting Jesus name
The result of that one moment, when he asked God in his heart
is still as active as it was, when he first made his start.

The Total Woman

The total woman lives to please her great Creator here
A true example of her God, she demonstrates so clear
Accentuating on the good, refusing any doubt
We're taught by her the meaning, what Christ's church is all about

Her kindness seems to brighten, any room in which she stands
All things to her are possible, tho great may be demands
For she relies on inner strength, supplied by God above
Fullfilling His dear Purpose, with her deeds of unfeigned love

Her heart is always open, to the cries of those in need
It seem that everywhere she turns, she's sowing precious seed
Seeds of laughter, seeds of joy, seeds of love and hope
These seeds have grown into a tree, no thorns could ever choke

So many souls will benefit, by all the things she's done
For she's the good Samaritan, who strengthens everyone
Her charity is more, than any words could ever say
A force of strength and power, helping lost souls find their way

Her life of faith is clearly seen, an epistle read by all
Waiting for a trumpets blow, when she'll hear Jesus call
It's then she'll be rewarded, for the deeds done on this earth
A rare unusual jewel, there's no price to tell her worth.
