The quatrain “Living for the Praise of God” expresses a desire to live in a way that earns God’s approval. It emphasizes dedicating actions to glorifying His name, rejecting worldly recognition in favor of seeking His divine affirmation. The poem frames life as a hymn, with the heart’s focus on receiving God’s praise as the ultimate goal. Written in a single quatrain with an AABB rhyme scheme and loosely iambic pentameter, it conveys a concise, devout commitment to living for the honour and glory of Jesus Christ alone.

To live that God’s own praise may crown our days,
Each deed a hymn to lift His holy name.
Our hearts seek not the world’s fleeting displays,
But seek His smile, His glory our true aim.
