 3/30325 Through 4/5/25

Sunday

Not as man's, the eyes of God

He sees beyond the frontal fraud

He sees into the depths within

To read a heart of good or sin.

Once children of the dark, but changed

By love, the heart now rearranged.

No more the fruitless works of night,

All visible, now in the light.

As one born blind was made to see,

The Light of Life was sent to me.

To see my sinful ways before

Would lead to darkness evermore.

The grace to change do all men need

The voice of God we all must heed

To walk amid the light of day

And find the straight and narrow way.

Monday

You may go and find your child healed

So great the force His word can wield

For Earth is new, and Heavens too

When Christ our Lord but touches you.

The sins of past ne'er come to mind

It's pure delight His people find

No mourning in that sacred land

But every joy the Master planned.

For once His love and mercy's seen

We too, become alike His queen

No evil draws our gaze away

As Truth and Beauty we obey.

Tuesday

What's your excuse to listen not?

His words of love have you forgot?

He promises to feed us well 

If we but shall His message tell

It's easy just to waste away

And make excuses not to pray,

But soon our muscles atrophy

And crippled then shall lazy be.

No healing comes for such a man

But, turn around the lazy can

To wade in Mercy's rushing flow

And come His healing love to know.

However long it's been for you

There's mercy and forgiveness too,

But change must truly be your aim

Or else you just remain as lame.

Wednesday

The Father and Jesus completely are One

And so is the Spirit sent by the Son.

The concept abhorrent to those in His time

And so in our day to such height we must climb.

The truth of His word we have seen and proclaim

It's clear from the Father that Jesus once came.

His will so aligned with the Father's to save,

The all of His blood on the Cross He once gave.

His offering perfect, an unblemished Lamb

Passover completed by God and by man.

Imperfect our knowledge, but truth it remains

And also the Spirit, the Godhead contains.

Distinct as a person each One of the Three

A union so bonded that One it must be.

Beyond what the mind of the mortals conceive

But truth that His followers now all believe.

Thursday

Two ears to hear He gave to man

But man thinks his a better plan.

We often hear it plain as day

But turn to face another way.

Lord, let us stand within the breach

And only truthful doctrine teach

So those who stray so easily

Might persevere for love of Thee

Lord, soften hearts and help them see

Their way leads far away from Thee

A self-made god will never do

Our only hope is trust in You.

Friday

So, this is what You promise Lord

To children of Your name

Revilement and a pointed sword

Your enemies to blame.?

Don't think this path an easy one

If treated so was Christ.

Salvation which our Savior won

Was truly so high-priced.

But when it seemed that all was lost,

Hid body in the grave,

He paid the highest ever cost,

But rose again to save.

For here below we cannot find

True peace within the soul

Above we find a diff'rent kind

That truly makes us whole.

So, suffer well and trust in Him

Those heartsick here below

Must see beyond the dark and dim

Above to Heaven's glow.

Saturday

All around the crowds encroaching

Evil sent but not approaching

Words like His are never spoken

All the rules of man now broken

None before as wise and knowing

Fame and reputation growing

Now threatening the status quo,

The chiefs decide this man must go.

Lions prowl in endless wanting

All their territory haunting

Always stalking prey for eating

Every day this plan repeating.

Till the Galilean preaching

Starts to bring a diff'rent teaching

With a wisdom none can counter

Truth itself does man encounter.

Now the tension daily mounting

To the final days we're counting

Evil thinks that death is winning

Yet it marks a new beginning.
