7/28/19 Through 8/3/19

Sunday

Let us all more Christlike be

In patience and humility

In willingness to suffer long

To bring the wayward soul along.

Our Father, as Your children plead,

Reach out and meet their every need.

Help them grow to be like You 

In all they say, and all they do.

Monday

Martha's known for working hard,

And then, somehow, her record marred.

It's true, the better part that day

Was listen well, and drop the tray.

But working hard's important too,

And what is needed we must do.

We spread the word through prayer and work,

And neither we must ever shirk.

So don't impugn dear Martha's labor

She took too, some time to savor,

Jesus, One to be adored

For she declared Him Christ and Lord.

Tuesday

Let Your cloud on me descend

Rifts of sinfulness to mend.

Speak to me as One to man

guide me in Your holy plan.

Lead Your people through the heat

Guide them on to where they meet

Their Savior and their risen Lord,

And get their final due reward.

Wednesday

I want in me that holy glow

So those I see each day would know

That dwelling here beneath the skin

Is one who spends some time with Him.

And through it all such joy would shine

That shows I hold this pearl of mine

In such esteem that none could buy

This treasure that I hold so high.

Thursday

Your cloud and glory fill this place

And give to Moses, shining face.

Where man and beast would fear to tread

The glow of Moses' face is fed.

The fire that burns consuming not

Your holy place that hands have wrought,

Enlightens us to see the way

That You would have us walk each day.

Friday

Together go the feast and fast

The mending of what's new and past

A reconciling God to man

To live once more within His plan.

So easily we fall away

And follow then a selfish way

But fasting brings the focus back

To all the ways in which we lack.

Our sacrifices pave the way

They teach the soul to weep and pray.

Through discipline they train the beast

So we can join the Master's feast.

Saturday

Make this year a Jubilee.

Return the land, and captives free.

Offer worship everyday

And learn to love and rightly pray.
