Do you know what you’re doing?
Search your heart’s motivation.
What is it, that keeps you going?
Are there… corresponding actions?

Refrain from frenetic, frantic busyness,
for now is the time for quiet waiting;
stop the phony acts of supposed holiness;
discontinue the false, religious debating.

Endeavors taken are still your choice.
Can your actions stand before God’s pop quiz?
Are you listening solely to His voice?
Is the plan you’re executing… yours or His?

The underlying impetus will be revealed
according to God’s perfect timing.
Is it The Word of God you wield?
Has your life been given to His consigning?

Elements of faith are meant to build character,
and are not for the purpose of vain “head trips”;
spiritual accountability is still required;
always remember that we’re… called to worship!
