The Right Balance


 

















It’s hard to find the balance, Lord,
That I need in each day
To offer grace with all my heart,
Yet still turn sin away.
 
Redemption means we call You Lord,
Then change the path were on.
Not say the words, then turn around
And let sin lead us on.
 
I want to give grace where I can,
But not condone the lies.
Man cannot claim redemption while
Living lives You despise.
 
Yet, knowing that we all stumble,
I need to find a way
To know when to hold on tightly,
And when to step away.
 
I don’t want to let go too soon,
Nor hold on for so long
That I add to their confusion
Of what’s right and what’s wrong.
 
The balance seems precarious,
But what I’ll hold on to
Is doing all that I can do
Then giving them to You.
 
1 Timothy 6:20-21
Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith.
