9/18/16 Through 9/24/16

Sunday

Every man will serve a master

Some of wealth or power and fame

All will lead them to disaster

Except the One with Jesus' name

Monday

Come into my life oh Lord

Another day I can't afford

Light a lamp to show the way

And lead me to the light of day

Be there beside me every hour

To conquer sin with holy power

To chase the darkness of the night

With true and everlasting light

Tuesday

Like water in your hands oh Lord

I pray that I may be

Always ready to be poured

Wherever You may please

Not willing just to read Your word

But listen and obey

Then act upon what I have heard

And find You new each day

Wednesday

The heavens declare His glory

The stars in concert sing

Each day retells the story

Of blessings that He brings

The order of creation

Each night that turns to day

Proclaims a loud ovation

And beckons us to pray

Thursday

All is here that ever was

Nothing new in what man does

Work to get ahead then find

Alas, the effort all but blind

The sun arises every day

From east to west it knows the way

A new or different interest piques

But ne'er provides man what he seeks

Friday

I fear my love a paltry thing

When on the cross, I see the King

I want a love of purity

But flesh impedes maturity

Instead of seeking heaven's gain

I flee from every hint of pain

And search for Simon on the way

To help me through each passing day

Much better to, a Simon be

And always learn to walk with Thee

Then shoulder well my daily cross

And count all other gains as loss.

Saturday

If we but understood the Word

And acted on the things we heard

Like Mother Mary, we would be

A humble soul that's been set free.
