6/2/19 Through 6/8/19

6/2/19 Through 6/8/19

Sunday

Ascended now above the clouds

The bread and wine alone enshrouds

His blood and body present here

To drive away all sin and fear.

His Spirit now empowers those

Who with the love of God He clothes.

And sends them forth to all the land

To preach the word as God has planned.

Receive the gifts and know it's you

The Lord empowers works to do

So be attentive to the word

And act upon the voice you've heard.

Monday

Blest are those who suffer well

Enduring more than words can tell,

Boldly facing evil's glare

Without another worldly care.

Eyes well-focused on the prize

Unwilling to accept their lies

Standing firm on what is true

They place their hope in life anew.

Tuesday

To recognize the end is near

And face its coming without fear

Is joyful for the righteous ones

Who call themselves adopted sons.

For peace will come from living well

And trust in God will always quell

The fear of what is yet unknown

For those who trust in God alone.

Wednesday

The chosen are the ones who hear

And choose to closer yet draw near

Within their soul the truth resounds

Ignoring other useless sounds.

Oh consecrate them all in truth

The aged one, and also youth.

Grant them unity in love

Send the Spirit from above.

Thursday

In mystery He works His plan

To fill the heart of every man

Confounding those divided souls

Who read, but know not, ancient scrolls.

Our unity His one desire

To fill our hearts with holy fire,

Knowing love beyond all telling

Selfishness and fear dispelling.

Friday

He has a work for every word

The ones we've read and ones we've heard.

Revealing truth of how we fail

And how our love, to His, is pale.

Yet somehow still, He calls by name

To change and never be the same.

To simply follow where He leads

And see how love and trust succeeds.

Saturday

With scripture read each passing day

A new beginning comes your way.

His word a guiding light for you

In all you say and all you do.

He touches in so many ways,

And words are not enough to praise.

For all the world could not contain

Nor books His mighty works explain.

His love surpassing all we know

And Spirit prompting us to go

To spread the news that love has won

The vict'ry through God's only Son
