8/6/17 Through 8/12/17

Sunday

Son of justice light our way

Shine Your brightness on this day

Show our path in clearest light

In Your presence banish night

Let us be transformed today

Bathed in light along the way

Changed forever by the Son

Brought to life as holy ones

Monday

How generous and loving Lord

For You to feed this hungry hoard

You give far more than bread and meat

You give Your flesh and blood to eat

May not this precious gift elude

The ones who share this sacred food

But may we see in bread and wine

That what You give is love divine

Tuesday

Don't speak against the holy one

Whose life is given for the Son

For leprosy, or something worse

Could then result from such a curse

His faithful ones must always be

Respected in community

For they have given all they own

To seek their God and God alone

Wednesday

The woman of great faith received

What she had asked, for she believed

If we but ask for daily bread

With food of angels we'll be fed

Ignore the giants all around

And in your trust let strength be found

The One we call upon to fight

For us is maker of the might

Thursday

Oh Lord, of sowing sparing seed

May I repent, and change indeed

With cheerful heart may I supply

My best and let You multiply

Let me lose my life for You

And do as faithful servants do

That with the other faithful kind

We may, the Father's honor find

Friday

What God has loved His people so

And given signs that they should know

The path of life to conquer sin

The path to our salvation win?

He bade us now to bear our cross

To count all earthly gain as loss

And in our poverty begin

To shine His light from deep within

Saturday

The tiny little mustard seed

Is more by far than most believe

If we would only trust that much

We too, would share the Savior's touch

I saw that tiny seed one day

The slightest breeze would whisk away

A hundred on my fingernail

And yet no hill was growing pale

I beg You Lord that by Your grace

I still may stand and see Your face

So small, my faith and trust may be

But still I long to live with Thee
