Leading With Conviction

Approaching the God I love and know

Remembering what He said long ago

Old enough to hear, “servant, go!”

Young enough to explore land, return with show

Convinced of all my eyes could see

Firm understanding of strong and weak

I spoke from my convictions

Hearing the words fall from their hearts

Melting with fear those in the dark

Many from there I did part

When I spoke from my convictions

“It’s yours, fully persuaded one,”

I heard from the Holy One.

“The inheritance is yours to come

For your children not yet born

Because you spoke from your convictions.”

Days and years later am I

Fully convinced as then

With a certain can do possession

Young enough to hear, “servant, go!”

Old enough to start the show

As I speak from my convictions

Bless me Boldly, God I love

Give me Hebron as I’ve longed

Whole heart I follow hard after you

As I speak from my convictions

CONVICTION: A firmly held belief.  The quality of showing that one is firmly convinced of what one believes or says.  From the Latin: convincere.
