A Kid No More

Jesus, I don' want to be a kid anymore!
I know I will always be a child, before the Father;
But I want to grow up, I want to keep growing up.

You say you are my brother.
Jesus, I want to be your brother.
I want to live like your brother.


Thank you for your patience with me.
Thank you for your mercy on me.
Thank you for sticking up for me.

Help me be an adult.
A mature member of the family.
Help me be prepared for eternity.

Eternity

O Lord, Help me focus on Eternity,
Not the things of this world;
Help me shake off this earthly entrapment.
Let me live in each moment.
Let me count the number of my days.
Let each action, each word have eternal value.

Change my heart to live with an eternal perspective.
Not the getting and the keeping,
And the getting more.
Help me to live out Kingdom values not earthly values.
Let the getting be for giving.
Let the having be for sharing.
Let Who has me be more important that what I have.

Let Eternity say, "He Lived well."
