5/20/18 Through 5/26/18
Sunday
Great wind of love blow through our home
Our twisted selfishness please comb
Let love drive out all base desire
And fill us with Your holy fire
For love can cure our every ill
By following the Father's will
So cure the sick and save the lost
By filling us this Pentecost
Monday
Lord, of these demons, free our land
Teach us to love as You had planned
May faithful Christians fast and pray
To drive this evil far away
Each little vice we welcome in
Will pave the way for greater sin
Till then one day we look around
And wickedness is all that's found
But wisdom and humility
Bring forth abundant fruit for Thee
In peaceful self-control we find
The fruits of righteousness are mined
Tuesday
Humbly trust in providence
Let love become your recompense
Seek not the prize of worldly gain
But break the links of selfish chain
Become a servant for them all
And answer well the greatness call
Be childlike and trust His care
Than find He answers every prayer
Wednesday
My daily bread is all I ask
To strip away this phony mask
That vainly says I'm in comand
Yet knowing not what You have planned
From my earliest days of youth
I've tried to make my plans and truth
Now looking back I clearly see
Futility in trusting me
Thursday
We drag around our useless fat
Corroded gold and silver that
We've spent our days amassing so
Prosperity and ease we'd know
But oh, how useless all of this
These monuments to our remiss
In our defense they hold no sway
Upon the fateful judgement day
Friday
Persevere in loving one
You chose so long ago
What benefit in having fun
With one you do not know?
For history well has honored those
Who persevere in strife
And Jesus in His teaching shows
Commitments are for life
The joy you found in years gone by
Will prove as just the start
When two, in love, both laugh and cry
And never grow apart
The key is never saying no
To love's increased demand
But learning how to give and grow
As our Creator planned
Saturday
Let the children come to me
Those innocent and pure
What joy if all would come to be
So confident and sure
Without the shades of doubt they learn
From years of sinful ways
And knowing they could never earn
A life of endless days
