4-30-17 Through 5/6/17

Sunday

Open Lord Your word to me

Reveal the things that I can't see

Upon these pages here of Thine

Allow Your rays of light to shine

Then cause my heart to burn within

And keep me far away from sin

I'll savor every word You said

And daily come receive the bread

Monday

Intently Stephen looked upon

The face of Christ in land beyond

Not cursing them in painful groans

But blessing those who threw the stones

Angelically his face appeared

No pain or torture then was feared

For in that time he fixed his eyes

On Jesus Christ his faithful prize

Tuesday

May I consume the daily bread

Your very flesh on which I'm fed

True manna, heavens greatest sign

God's one and only Son divine

Wednesday

To ask within His holy name

He promises receipt

Our lack is not on him to blame

But on our own deceit

For what we ask indulges that

Which leads us far astray

It's nothing more than idle chat

To help us on our way

Thursday

Come down from heaven holy bread

On which the faithful all are fed

The Bread of Life for all to eat

Our strength on earth to sin defeat

Friday

The light of Christ around him shone

But voice was heard by him alone

See how blind you've come to be?

The one you persecute is Me

Now go into the city where

My messenger will find you there

And tell you all that you must do

As what the lord commands of you

Then after three days fasting spent

A man named Ananias sent

The scales removed, his sight restored

And now the Son of God adored

Saturday

Who can accept these words you speak

Perhaps another one we seek

Returning to their former way

So many souls have gone astray

Nowhere to go that I can see

I never wish to part from Thee

Although I may not understand

I  trust in what my Lord has planned
