8/13/17 Through 8/19/17

Sunday

Tired of rowing on the sea

He calls and says: "Now walk to me."

"Get out and leave that boat behind?!"

The rest will think I've lost my mind!

I walk along a little way

But then the wind and waves dismay

I briefly take my sight from Him

and to the waves I sink within

In desperation I cry out

His hand comes down to pull me out

And says my faith must stronger be

In One who calms the wind and sea.

Monday

Circumcise your hearts today

And see what love your heart displays

Be no longer stubborn men

But see His bounty once again

Tuesday

In glory now she reigns on high

Above the earth which passes by

The mother of All Sin Atoned

The queen of all is now enthroned

The purest of the pure by far

Much brighter than the brightest star

The heavens hail resplendent one

God chose to bear His only Son

Wednesday

His eyes could see the Promised Land

Across the hot and dusty sand

For forty years he saw no green

But now was milk and honey seen

His work complete, the torch was passed

Now Moses laid to rest at last

Oppression gone and freedom found

Upon the holy promised ground.

Thursday

The Ark before the people goes

And then no more the water flows

Dry shod they cross into the land

To make it theirs as God had planned

Remember now these days of old

And all the stories men have told

See how His love comes shining through

For all who seek, like me and you.

Friday

By God, once joined, the man and wife

Are bound together in this life

No man must break this sacred bond

But always, to the call, respond

With greater love each passing day

That we might follow in His way

And learn to sacrifice for love

And lead our spouse to heav'n above.

Saturday

My household Lord, shall follow You

The Master of the things we do

your slaves and servants may we be

Conformed in every way to Thee

To serve as slaves to King of Kings

The greatest joy and favor brings

For we but breathe at Your behest

And in Your presence all are blessed.
