219. MORE HOLINESS GIVE ME, MORE STRIVING WITHIN

1. More holiness given me, More striving within;

More patience in suffering, More sorrow for sin;

More faith in my Saviour, More sense of His care;

More joy in His service, More purpose in prayer.

2. More gratitude give me, More trust in the Lord;

More pride in His glory, More hope in His Word;

More tears for His sorrows, More pain at His grief

More meekness in trial, More, praise for relief.

3. More purity give me, More strength to o’ercome;

More freedom from earth-stains, More longings for home;

More fit for the kingdom, More used would I be;

More blessed and holy, More, Saviour, like Thee

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
