The Abundant Life
by J. Randal Matheny
Life abundant can be ours,
For any person, anywhere,
This precious bread brings boundless powers,
To be received, and meant to share.
You, too, can live the abundant life,
If willing to put the Lord at first,
To put this world beneath the knife,
If yours is quenchless hunger and thirst.
The abundant life is lived beside
The generous God who gives and leads;
With Scripture as your daily guide,
Your every righteous act succeeds.
Life more abundant starts within,
A heart to hear God's word of cheer,
A conscience troubled over sin,
A mind that seeks to draw Him near.
Abundant life, exuberant days,
Effusive joy, can't be contained;
It touches souls in countless ways,
For so this life has been ordained.
