Only Jesus

Lord, what the right hand does, You said,
The left hand shouldn't know,
And all we do should be for You,
Without making a show.

But modern preachers oft we find,
Commend the work they do,
And ask their TV crew to show
They drive our demons too.

Some use words none can understand,
And say they speak with tongues;
And claim their prayers Your Spirit brings
On him who to them comes.

Mysterious are Your ways, O Lord,
Help us to understand
Your Word and not let prophets false
Distort what You have planned.

Give us the wisdom to absorb
Only the truth we hear,
And point lost souls to Christ alone,
With self kept at the rear.
