4/22/18 Through 4/28/18

Sunday

Good Shepherd lead Your sheep today

Make us to follow in Your way

Give us Your valley lands replete

With good and juicy things to eat

Make us see and understand

That happiness is in Your land

Give us a heart that then decides

No other way than Yours provides

Monday

Who is this man who calms the sea

And still has time to care for me?

Who leads me where lush grasses grow

And where the streams of water flow?

No one before has come like He

A Shepherd for the sheep like me

One whose voice we recognize

One on a cross, for us, who dies

Tuesday

How much plainer can I be, 

Than all the holy works you see

The lame can walk, the blind can see

But yet you don't believe in Me

The heart of proud and sinful men

Can see my works and turn again

To willful blindness dark as night

Refusing to acknowledge light

You know the truth and still you say

Give us some proof, You are the way

No proof can satisfy the man

Whose pride obstructs the Father's plan

Wednesday

Be sober and vigilant, loving the Lord

For strength and approval will be your reward

Your opponent, the devil, is prowling around

To see if one weak or infirmed can be found

Resist him in faith that is steadfast and strong

Refusing to do any deed that is wrong

Your brothers and sisters have all done as much

And found great reward in God's loving touch

The humble exalted, the haughty brought low

His favor upon all the meek He'll bestow

We suffer a little to win the reward

Of life everlasting, with graces outpoured

Thursday

He told us plainly in advance

Of all that He would do

But we would hear, and look askance

For such we never knew

To suffer death and rise again

We could not understand

But after it had happened then

We saw what He had planned

Friday

If you wish to know the way

Listen well to what I say

Then act upon the word you hear

And let my Father draw you near

For in His house are many rooms

And that is where love fully blooms

Through me you find your dwelling place

Within the Father's warm embrace

Saturday

Proclaim the word both loud and clear

No matter some refuse to hear

And shake the dust from whence you came

If they refuse to hear My name

For though you may get quite annoyed

My word shall not return as void

It waters still the hardened clod

When you proclaim the word of God

And if a heart is seeking truth

My word shall come as to the youth

The greatest story ever told

A priceless one worth more than gold
