4/23/17 Through 4/29/17

Sunday

Doubt no longer but believe

The grace for faith now all receive

But some reject it out of pride

And thus begin a downward slide

Monday

Lord, look at our society

How they despise our faith in Thee

They think that they can make the rules

But show themselves no more than fools

Help us boldly to proclaim

The strength and power of Jesus' name

May our daily sacrifice

In them, a longing, there entice.

That those we meet might come to know

The Holy Spirit You bestow

Then born again from up above

Our culture turn to one of love

Tuesday

Forever of Your goodness

And praises I will sing

Forever is Your kindness

Oh good and gracious King

The sky proclaims Your wonder

For none like You exist

Your voice a mighty thunder

Youe breath a gentle mist

Wednesday

No prison now can hold the word

With vision now no longer blurred

The Son of God became a man

To rescue us from Satan's plan

By giving of Himself complete

The power of sin did He defeat

And cast away the darkest night

By bringing everlasting light

Thursday

Witnesses of righteousness

He came for those who will confess

the obstinent who hide the sin

May never His salvation win

For all have sinned and crucified

The Son of God who bled and died

It seemed as such a tragedy

But truly it has set us free

Friday

Would I be glad to suffer now

for witnessing to Him

Could I be strong and thus allow

My pride to now grow dim?

Or would I cower in the face

Of ridicule and scorn

With shame of my rejected grace

Awake to rue the morn?

Saturday

Out on the sea alone, afraid

Against the wind they rowed and prayed

Then on the water drawing near

They heard, "It's I, no need to fear."

Then as they turned to look around

Behold, the yonder shore was found

Within an instant fear was gone

And Christ alone relied upon

How many times in every life

We feel afraid amid the strife

But if we look in spite of fear

We too can see, the Lord is near.
