2/14/16 Through 2/19/16

2/14/16 Through 2/19/16

Sunday

In this hunger I need bread

And not the food I crave

Refusing not that I be fed

By who the Father gave

Monday

Fasting for the ones in need

Feasting on the words I read

A time to quit the daily race

And gaze upon His holy face.

Tuesday

Forgiving all the little wrong

Can be no simple chore

With grace and with conviction strong

We do it now once more.

Wednesday

The prophet calls us to repent

And make of this a holy Lent.

Turn away from sins of past

And make of this a holy fast.

Thursday

Increase the fervor of my prayer

That always trusting You

My prayer be heard from anywhere

And in accord with You.

Thursday

Remember when I called to you

You didn't know just what to do.

You didn't know just how I came

But that You'd never be the same.

A different time, a different way

Or when you quiet down to pray

If you but gently train your ear

You'll find my voice quite clear to hear

I sought you out to be my own

And make my love, to others, known

To listen to the words I speak

And show the way to those who seek.

I didn't choose for how you speak

I chose the humble and the meek

The ones who hear the words I say

And not just listen, but obey.

Friday

This time, oh Lord, I wake to find

A word from Thee, and peace of mind.

A word to carry through this day

And help me follow in Your way.

Saturday

The slave, once freed, must not return

To that which held him bound

The fool who does will never learn

To stand on solid ground
