Second To None

He is second to none,
He is the Almighty One.
He is first and He is last,
God of the future and God of the past.

He is first in my life,
Amongst the pain and the strife.
He has my heart and my soul,
His voice my heart doth console.

When He returns, my crown He will receive,
All because on Him I did believe.
All is His and He is mine,
And He deserves all glory divine.

Second to none,
He is the King, when all is said and done.
Are you first or last?
Where in eternity is your lot cast?

I am last and Christ is first,
And those roles cannot be reversed.
Remember your place,
And remember His amazing grace.
 

Boast in the Lord

Boast not in what you know,
But in Christ, who His love did show.
We may know a great many things,
But to Christ, we give our praise offerings.


Boast not in the strength of your arm,
Because in the end it can only do you harm.
We work to build up ourselves everyday,
And Jesus said that this is not the way.


Boast not in the money you've earned,
Because with this fire you could be burned.
Riches will only bring want,
And once gotten they will continually haunt.


Boast in the omniscient and almighty God,
The One who has constantly guided with His rod.
For knowing our God is better than all of these things,
And knowing Him, my praise to Him brings.


"Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches. But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord." (Jeremiah 9:23,24)
