6/1/25 Through 6/7/25

 6/1/25 Through 6/7/25

Sunday

In Israel, I saw a rock

With footprint plain as day

And people to this stone would flock

To so, their homage pay.

This place, our Savior stood before

Ascending to the sky

Perhaps it's real, or only lore,

But foot, you can't deny.

I think of this each time I pray

That mystery of yore

Remembering that special day

I saw it long before

So many things will touch the heart

When walking where He trod

May ne'er the memories depart

For there I met my God.

Not there alone, but there in ways

I never had before

I cherish now those special days

Reliving them once more. 

Monday

I want whate'er You have for me

One Spirit-filled, I want to be

My ways so feeble, weak, and lame

I need the fire, the Holy Flame.

One lazy, selfish, held by greed

The saving pow'r of love I need.

To put the other 'fore me now

And break the chains of sin somehow.

Then love would be the all I see

Embraced, the cross You have for me.

And joy, my suffering would yield

A sinful soul, one fully healed.

That doesn't mean I shouldn't try

That doesn't mean I can deny

My will it is, what leads me wrong

And I must choose to be one strong.

Tuesday

The hour has come for you to be bold

Out-spoken as one, as one of the fold.

Do not shy away, but trust in His care

Of grace of the Spirit you must be aware.

He leads where we often would rather not go,

But gifts in abundance, the docile will know.

Grace for the journey that's steadfast and true

All that is needed is given to you.

Hardship and trouble are waiting for thee

For none is of value if man is not free.

Free to find truth in His vict'ry displayed

Free to see God in all that he's made.

No master is maker of truth but the One

The One who in love, would give up His Son.

The Sacrifice given to save all mankind

To heal all the sick, the lame, and the blind.

Wednesday

One in the Spirit, one in the Lord

One in the graces abundant out-poured

He wanted so badly that all should be one,

He sent us the Spirit as well as His son.

He warned us that trouble would come here below

To recognize truth from the false, we must know.

His Spirit will give us the truth that we need,

To Him we must listen, and Him we must heed.

Thursday

We battle now as way back then

Opinionated, stupid men.

When foolish pride corrupts the mind

Disunity and strife we find.

The Christ descended here to show

Humility the way to go.

When love informs the all we do

Is when we move most close to You.

The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

A unity confounding most

Shows every day that love within

Will conquer over every sin.

Friday

The signal rock remains today

Where fire burned till dawn of day.

Three heart-shaped stones there mark the place

Of mission ground, and mission grace.

Mementos of His love abound

Here, grace to persevere is found.

For Him whose love is never spent,

With grace are His disciples sent.

To spread the news that He arose

And see the ranks of faithful grows

Until we all have heard the news

And Light or dark are left to choose.

Saturday

What business in another's task

Is there for you? I simply ask.

I've made it clear what you should do

So, buckle down and follow through.

A part for everyone to play

In following My Father's way.

Concern should be for yours alone

So, follow in the way I've shown.
