Approval sought from fellow man
Fleeting, faint…often void;
Deceptive, distant, wavering want
Satisfying a moment…then to the winds, it is tossed

Approval sought from Father’s heart,
My aim but simply to please;
To live in His hand,
To hope in Him,
Rallying to His command as I ought;
To brave each new day,
Festive or gray,
Walking the path He has laid;
Clinging to Him,
Relying on Him,
Ever mindful of His call and His love.
