Little by little the things of God became a back seat responsibility.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 KJV
"...He
hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the
work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

Lord, being our first and foremost responsibility. Such yielded
living we used to call, consecration.

live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose
again.

All along my pilgrim journey,
Savior, let me walk with Thee.

Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee;

Only let me walk with Thee.

Lead me through the vale of shadows,
Bear me o’er life’s fitful sea;
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter, Lord, with Thee.
Refrain 3:
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter, Lord, with Thee.
