My Life's Goals

My hoped-for goal is to be known
and saved by God Alone.
Through His Free Choice, redeemed and grown,
His Precious Seed is sown.

My hoped-for goal forevermore
is to remember well,
that I am naught, but one died-for.
He saved my soul from Hell.

My hoped-for goal is seeing true,
since I have naught but sin
to offer Christ, Who paid my due,
Redemption's Gift to win.

My hoped-for goal is praising Him,
Who's worthy of all praise.
Protected I'm from a place so grim
to be blest all my days.

My hoped-for goal with empty hands,
while clinging to the cross
is to be granted by His Plan
to live in joy, not loss.
