9/20/15 through 9/26/15

Sunday

Could we know without the cross,

Could we count our gains as loss,

Could we find triumph in defeat,

Without a giving so complete?

Because of His reproaching breath

We sentenced Him to shameful death.

With torture and revilement

We killed the One whom Love had sent.

But three days hence, the Savior showed

As all around the tomb it glowed,

No power below or up above

Can conquer o're the power of Love.

Monday

Wealth provides a constant chatter

Masking all the things that matter

Always shouting, "Look and see!"

Drowning out, "Come follow Me."

Tuesday

In the pagan king was found

The gift to see, and turn around.

Rebuilding that which once was razed

Into the place where God is praised.

Tuesday Evening

A man of little faith in He

Who calmed the winds and split the sea,

A man who doesn't trust enough

To leave his worthless worldly stuff.

A man who wants his comfort now,

Yet wants to get to heaven somehow.

A man who wants the Lord to see,

A better way for things to be.

A man of very little brain

Complaining of his every pain

A fool in eyes that truly see,

That man of course, is known as me.

But if You choose to grace that man,

And if he but, responds he can

Fulfill Your will upon this earth

And gain at last, a brand new birth.

Wednesday

To twelve He gave authority

To cure and make the demons flee.

To all He gives the power now

To love, and change the world somehow.

Thursday

How often thoughts are inward bound

And care for others never found.

The house of God, it's time to build,

The fallow ground must now be tilled.

Friday

Tell no more the ancient story

Of the Church's former glory

Worry not of numbers few

The Lord will freshen, and renew.

Saturday

Within the fire circling round

No enemy or foe is found.

The Lord becomes the strength and shield

For all the holy ones He sealed.
