1/29/17 Through 2/4/17

Sunday

Seek the Lord with all your heart

This wisdom I, to you, impart

For happiness is knowing One

Whose brightness far exceeds the sun

Monday

Lord cast the many demons out 

That keep us far from You

And show us clear the holy route

To do the things You do

Tuesday

Discard the burden, run the race

Stay focused on His love and grace

Endure with faith in One above

To meet each trial with steadfast love

Do not grow weary in the fight 

But draw upon His strength and might

For you have not been tested yet

Unto the point where blood is let

If you but merely touch His hem

You'll have the strength to deal with them

Just let your faith increase in size

And then, behold, the dead shall rise.

Wednesday

Oh Lord grant me Your discipline

For that's where love and trust begin

It's truly for Your yoke I long

Yet I am weak, but Thou art strong.

Thursday

Due sacrifice cannot be made

If we, the Lord, have not obeyed

For those that meet the Lord's desire

Have all passed through refiner's fire

The perfect sacrifice once made

By Christ, to have our sins allayed

Yet we are called to share His pain

And thus to win eternal gain

For who can strengthen men on earth

But He who took such humble birth

And shared our every pain for sure

And yet remained so clean and pure

Friday

How much am I like Herod then

Intrigued by holiness, but when

I'm called upon to do what's right

In weakness, all my strength takes flight

In unexpected ways I find

The call to once again be kind

But Oh so often I decline

And seek to keep what I call mine

Saturday

Come find a calm deserted place

To rest from cares and busy pace

To sit with Him and talk a while

That He may then your soul beguile
