A is for Adoration
We give to God all praise
None but He deserves it
To Him our voices we raise.

We are His beneficiaries
Through our Saviour Jesus.

Of all our sins to Him
He who saves and satisfies
And cleanses from all sin.

We give in earnestness
Of our time and resources
In giving Him our best.

The manner of life He gives
To the one who comes to Him
And in righteousness lives.

F is for God’s Faithfulness
Faithful in word and deed
Faithful every morning
And daily meeting our need.

G is for the Glorious Gospel
As in the giving of God’s Son
To die on Calvary’s cross
Praise God that work is done!

H is for my Heavenly Home
My eyes are on the prize
So I walk in steadfast hope
Right up to my demise.

I is for God’s Interest
He shows for us each day
Watching over less we slip
Guiding along His way.

Our Savior and our Lord
The word from the beginning
The Written and Living Word.

The Kingdom of God’s own Son
The Kingdom we’ll inherit
When the race on earth is won.

Demonstrated in John 3:16
Romans 5 verse 8 confirms
God’s love for the redeemed.

M is for God’s Mercy
His mercy and His grace
His compassion never failing
One day I’ll see His face.

The baby born in a manger
When Jesus came to earth.

O is for Opportunity
Given to you and me
To confess Christ as Saviour
And prepare for eternity.

The penitent’s sins forgiven
To redeem the lost.

The perfect Lamb of Calvary
The perfect work by the perfect Son
Crucified for you and me.

Heirs and joint-heirs with Christ
For every born again believer
Christ paid the ultimate price.

Salvation full and free
Salvation through the blood of Jesus
Shed for you and me.

Thankfulness to the Trinity
God the Father, Son and Spirit

Among the Godhead three
Present in the beginning
But from eternity.

The victory we have in Him
Christ’s victory on the cross
Gives us the victory over sin.

W is for Walking
That is walking in the Spirit
Not fulfilling the deeds of the flesh
But righteousness our habit.

The X-ray of the Holy Word
Revealing the condition of our hearts
Drawing us closer to the Lord.

Yielding in submission to Christ
As sons of God and daughters
Not drawn away and enticed.

Z is for Zealous
Zealous in all that we do
In service to Christ our Saviour
Till our time on earth is through.
