ALMOST SLIPPED

Psalm74:2 "As for me, my foot almost slipped..."

Based on my experience, I have written and now heartily share this song. Only those near God truly survive the deception and snares of sin and the Devil.

I lay all before you, but I choose when to do it

Most often it is pleasant

Sometimes it’s not

I feel like Peter, like the worst sinner

Watching and praying not all in vain

And just like David, I missed a step

My foot almost slipped!

Doctrine I know it, the problem is the practice

I bring shame to your name

But your purpose still stands

Am I watching my life (closely)? Am I watching my doctrine?

Fixing my eyes on Jesus

Gives me the power

Enduring all things (I should), faith asks not how it’s so

Seeking to win righteously

God’s grace must reign!

It is good to be near God, the Sovereign LORD my refuge

Holds me by my right hand

I’ll tell of all His deeds
