Mind, do think of all the ways
To glorify God in all your days
In here, out there, in every place
For He is not contained by space
You once were gone, too far astray
Thinking things that go your way
Now you've changed to think and weigh
What thoughts please God everyday
Heart, do give yourself to God
Keeping passion to His rod
His awesome glory and His blood
Keeping sights where Christ has trod
Take heed, for Satan uses odd
And wicked ways to use the broad
Cracks and gaps in you that cause
Your passion to run away from God
Soul, rejoice in all the things
That God has done, and what He brings
His love, His wrath, you shout and sing
As He gives you eagle's wings
But woe to you when you rejoice
Of things that please your selfish choice
Your plans, your dreams, your grown-up toys
When God won't be heard from your voice
Strength, please labor for God's gift
Things for His glory you must lift
Give all yourself till you are stiffed
To God alone your life must drift
Give not yourself to earthly toil
For things in here will rot and spoil
Marriage, jobs, and precious oil
Will be no more than rusty soil
Might, with vigor, full and true
Give to God what's is His due
Shout His glory till you're through
Living, for Christ is in you
When you reach out to the heavens
Do not stop till your arms' severed
In the deep to down, or lower
Proclaiming God now and forever
Hear, Oh Self, hear indeed
For you can never do these deeds
You by nature are a weed
Fallen, sinful, Adam's seed
So I advise you, cling to Christ
Who paid the infinitely priced
Sins you've done against the heights
To Him you pierced, to Him you sliced
To be like Him is just a sigh
Because your main goal is to cry
"To magnify and glorify
Delight forever God on high"
