Kingdom Work

Kristine Cucinotta Murphy

Working for the Kingdom is a little different than for the world
It’s more of a pleasure ,a burning desire to live out God’s Word

God is so gracious and blesses us in many ways with favor
Yet, to remember where our blessings come from, we still must labour

Thought of this in the wee hours getting ready to pull out
The switch to lower the camper was frozen, had to go another route

We had to manually crank it down, that took time and effort
Giving me great appreciation for when it does work

God is like that, he works so much for us, he excels
Yet, times he doesn’t always do what we can do ourselves

He has us labour to be filled with admiration for him
Of how life is much more at ease when we are grafted in

Even though we have things we must do, without him we can do nothing
So, in all of the technologies and conviences of everything

Let’s stop and think how much harder it would be
To have to do it all manually

And, if we do have to be without such luxuries
Let our hearts and mouths give God all our praises and glories

Luke 1:47-49
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
