4/2/17 Through 4/8/17

4/2/17 Through 4/8/17

Sunday
This water satisfies our thirst
But only for awhile
It's only when we place Him first
We learn to live in style

Monday
How hasty we can judge and then
The one like us we just condemn
We see so clear the other's fault
And yet our own we fail to halt

Refusing then to turn our eye
Toward God and let Him purify
We set our sights on earthly gain
Just strengthening the sinful chain

But love can break that sinful chain
By sharing in our Savior's pain
Forgiving those who cause us harm
And thus the evil one disarm

Tuesday
Lift high love's banner, high the cross
What many thought a shameful loss
His death the great catastrophe
Has now become our victory

Wednesday
What three within the furnace found
Was cool and pleasant air around
For God remembered righteous deeds
And made of them His faithful seeds

That they would show the wicked king
What faith and trust in God would bring
And free him from his pagan fraud
To worship now the one true God

Thursday
Great news to share, but few will hear
Redemption's time is drawing near
Now we must recognize the Lord
And hearken to His every word

His words are difficult, I know
But by His word our hearts will grow
If we obey we'll understand
And then we'll find the Promised Land.

Friday
Discredit them in any way
We'll bend and twist the words they say
The prophets and the Son of Man
Disrupted propaganda's plan.

For when, in love, the truth is told
It has more weight than loud and bold
Do not grow weary in the fight
Let love become your greatest might

For enemies were not condemned
But loved by Christ to bitter end
When on the cross, His prayer to you:
"Forgive them for the things they do."

Saturday
Is it not better that one man
According to their wicked plan
Die in place of all the nation
Suffering humiliation?

Prophetic words unknown back then
Were leading to the great amen
When Christ would say "Thy will be done"
And let them crucify God's Son.
