Two in one

Job 20:2 

“This is why my troubled thoughts bring me back—
because of my feelings within me.

 

Two in one or one on one

who magnifies your lifestyle?

When you’re up or when you’re down

what impressions are left on file?

 

How do you glorify the Lord

when you are feeling down?

Do you live His sorrows through

as you are Heaven bound?

 

Or when you’re feeling mighty fine

do the joys of Heaven ring?

But what if your feelings are just the flesh

is that when angels sing?

 

All is a condition of the heart

as it in its environment dwells.

If in contentment and godliness

than all is very well.

 

But if it dwells in the material

and contentment of that gain,

than the battle is lost and the awful cost

by Christ was paid in vain.
