KEYS TO GROWTH

The keys to growth in christian life
Are prayer and study, pain and strife
Fellowship with other saints
Will help you when your heart is faint


Prayer will bring you sweet relief
And heal the heart ache caused by grief
The Word renews your heart afresh
And helps you as you fight the flesh

Pain and strife though never fun
Will draw you closer to the Son
Good fellowship with saints will mend
Your erring ways lest you offend.

Thank God for every special grace
By faith His promises embrace
Make the best of each new day
And through the testings watch and pray
