KEYS TO GROWTH

The keys to growth in christian life 
Are prayer and study, pain and strife 
Fellowship with other saints 
Will help you when your heart is faint


Prayer will bring you sweet relief 
And heal the heart ache caused by grief 
The Word renews your heart afresh
And helps you as you fight the flesh 

Pain and strife though never fun 
Will draw you closer to the Son 
Good fellowship with saints will mend 
Your erring ways lest you offend. 

Thank God for every special grace 
By faith His promises embrace 
Make the best of each new day 
And through the testings watch and pray
