5/12/19 Through 5/18/19
Sunday
The sheep
who recognize My voice
Have come
to me and made their choice,
Have come
to follow in the way
That leads
to that eternal day.
No more
distracted by the din
Of
selfishness and sordid sin
But
focused on the heav’nly light
That draws
to ever higher height.
To love
beyond what mortals know,
To love
where saints and angels go,
To love as
from the Spotless Lamb,
To love
but from the great I AM.
Monday
One gate
through which the sheep will pass
One way to
find our peace at last
To follow
well the Shepherd’s voice
And make
His way our loving choice.
Tuesday
So many
traitors in the ranks
So few who
offer praise and thanks
It falls
to few to change the many
Gifted by
His graces plenty.
Be Matthias
for the masses
See much
clearer through the glasses
Faith
provides to see what’s needed
Thus, you
see, the ground is seeded.
Wednesday
Set apart
to work for Him
Who came
into the world.
Light in
darkness, strengthened limb
Peace and
love unfurled.
Spirit
led, proclaimed to all
The chosen
and the Jew
So listen
well and hear the call
He places
now to you.
Thursday
Unworthy
though I be
To loosen
sandal’s thong
The One
who washes me
Is He who
does no wrong.
His
ever-present grace
Will
strengthen weakened knees
In every
time and place
He answers
faithful pleas.
The good
He wishes He must do
In works
across this land
Through
docile hearts in me and you
The way
His Father planned.
So make of
me each single day
A soul to
listen and to pray
A soul to
hear your every call
And one to
give my very all.
Friday
Begotten
through the pain of death
New life
can thus begin
The Spirit
from Your holy breath
No more a
life of sin.
The Truth
revealed for all to see
Love
conquers over sin
The Way is
but for us to be
The ones
with life within.
Saturday
Have I
been here for all this time,
And yet
not understood?
The Father
in this simple rhyme
To
recognize, you should.
For He and
I are two, but one
Distinct
and not the same.
Yet bound
as Father and as Son
By Love’s
most holy flame.
