4/15/18 Through 4/21/18

Sunday

Be not afraid, but now believe

I'm in the flesh as you perceive

I've truly risen as I said

Though crucified, no longer dead

For this is how it had to be

That every man might come to see

A time of joy will now begin

For love has victory over sin

Monday

Peace amidst tremendous trial

Comes from knowing Him awhile

Seeing how His will provides

No matter where the Spirit guides

So why then, do I worry still

If I wish to, His word fulfill?

It's only 'cause my pride creeps in

To say I can't rely on Him

But I should know from many ways

That He has rescued in my days

And how His way proves better still

Than every time I choose my will

Tuesday

What sign can You give to make us believe?

What sign can give stone the sense to perceive?

There's far more than just a great prophet here

You now have the wrath of Almighty to fear

When given so plainly to you everyday

In language of love, you reject what I say

But eat of this manna and hunger no more

Then taste of the sweetness that God has in store

Wednesday

Believe in Him, What does it mean?

Just that we follow some routine?

Or is it more than outward sign,

And just a hollow claim of mine?

It must be something fresh and real

That fosters diligence and zeal

By bearing fruit we prove to be

Believers that we claim to be

Thursday

Let me Lord, a Philip be

That I may lead some more to Thee

Let me shine the light onYou

So others see the works You do

That they may come to love Your word

And learn to act on what is heard

Then build their house on solid rock

And know You'll answer when they knock

Friday

May the scales just fall away

That I might see the light of day

May my ears be tuned to hear

Your every word as loud and clear

May I be Your ready slave

Proclaiming every gift You gave

Changed forever by Your touch

Well prepared to suffer much

Saturday

These famous words we've come to know

Peter's "Lord, to whom shall we go?"

For even when the teaching's hard

We trust Your word as light and guard

As often we don't understand

The varied ways that You have planned

But often come to comprehend

How much Your way, from ours, transcend

So we have come to trust Your way

No matter what the others say

And confidently follow Thee

Even to that dreadful tree
