ACCOUNTABILITY

Misc. 12-21-13


ACCOUNTABILITY




ACCOUNTABILITY is defined
As the fact or condition
Of being accountable
OR in other words


RESPONSIBLE


Responsible
For HOW MUCH love
We show
In this world


Responsible
FOR how much kindness
We show
In this world


AND RESPONSIBLE
For how much FORGIVENESS
WE show in this world


MANY people
Who are unaccountable
Seem to skate through this life
Foot loose and fancy free


NOT responsible or accountable
To anyone


BUT THEY WILL
As you and I will
Be accountable
To OUR LORD AND CREATOR


“NOW we know
That whatever the law says
It says to those
Who are under the law


SO that every mouth
May be silenced
And the WHOLE WORLD
Held ACCOUNTABLE to God” Romans 3:19


That means you
That means me
That means
EVERYONE of us
WILL be held ACCOUNTABLE
TO GOD


For what we do
In this life
What we don't do
In this life
And the REASONS thereof


“BUT I tell you
That men will have to give account
On the day of judgment
For EVERY careless word
They have spoken


FOR BY YOUR WORDS
You will be acquitted
And by your words
You will be condemned” Matthew 12:36-37


DEAR LORD
We pray for your MERCY AND FORGIVENESS
As we FORGIVE others with MERCY
Because
NONE of us are so self-righteous
SO ACCOUNTABLE
That we can stand
On our own merits
ONLY YOURS


“This righteousness from God
Comes through FAITH
IN Jesus Christ
To ALL who believe


There is no difference
FOR ALL have sinned
And all FALL SHORT
Of the GLORY OF GOD


And are justified
FREELY by his grace
Through the REDEMPTION
That came by Jesus Christ” Romans 3:22-24


Dear Lord-WE SAY
THANK YOU for being ACCOUNTABLE
FOR US
