7/19/15 through 7/25/15

Sunday

With pride we often entertain

The pleasures that we seek

Instead of trying to abstain

And learning to be meek

Monday

Ignoring what they cannot hide

Creating overwhelming tide 

Denying truth they know inside

The court has ruled along gay pride

Tuesday

The waters of the Red Sea part

To freedom now the slaves depart

The people that the Lord has named

Through water now the Lord has claimed

When like the sea, His heart was split

The blood and water flowed from it

An overwhelming, precious tide

Of grace and mercy from His side.

Wednesday

Baptismal waters cleanse and bless

As we our sinful past confess

Through water now His dove descends

And sinful hearts He heals and mends

Unfading mark upon the brow

To claim one as the Lord's somehow

To wash away the stain of sin

And pave the way to Heaven win.

Thursday

How often Lord I stop to pray

But fail to practice what You say

Let Your word in  me be found

And make of me Your fertile ground

Friday

The peaceful morn a holy time

And I have learned to call it mine

A time to watch the dawn awake

And quietly reflection take

The varied birds that sing their song

The air that's cooled by darkness long

This calm before the busy day

I've found the perfect time to pray

Saturday

In jars of clay we carry gold

That you should know what we've been told

Is from the power of God, not man

And all our works are in His plan.
