Miscellaneous stuff from my phone

8/16/24 

Oh how I wish that today was tomorrow

Spare me the grief and spare me the sorrow

Not looking forward to what I must do

I trust that my courage and strength come from You

 

Morning has come on the day that I dread

How I wish I could cower and stay in my bed

But I know I must do what I promised I would

For today is the day I get fastened to wood

 

Things that are hard bring a fear to the mind

But if we persevere it's quite often we find

That fear is but useless, it's faith that we need

As far as we thought, we can now far exceed

Lord, you created man in need

And so I am in need indeed

In need of cleansing from all sin

In need of finding peace within. 

In need of answering your call

In need of trusting you with all

In need of learning how to give

In sacrificial ways to live.

I want a unity of soul
To make the family a whole 
For soon this world is passing by
And judgment day is drawing nigh 

No second chances after death 
So all before their final breath
Must choose to follow on the way
Of Jesus now and learn to pray

The way is narrow, rough, and steep
But if His word we daily keep
He'll bring us on that final day
The peace and joy we wish today

Let not the faithful learning cease

But evermore the quest increase

To know our Lord in varied ways

And seek Him more throughout our days. 

Let Eucharist be daily sought

And sin confessed before forgot. 

So pride may not a foothold gain

And lead to everlasting pain

5/9/24

Let not my family go astray

Nor follow in the worldly way

And turn their heads away from God 

Then into selfish valleys trod 

Let children be abundant there

And faithful in their family prayer 

Let God be glorified each day

And little ones well taught to pray.
