When my daily dose of medicine tastes bitter to the taste,When pain and suffering cause prayers to be made in haste,When sickness or disease ravishes my body beyond my will,I will turn my heart and send my prayers to the Father still. When sorrow fills my bitter cup and I would shrink from all,When earth’sContinue reading “When Trials Abound”

Led by His Hand
How provident, how divine has been this nation a land of freedom,Where God has demanded that we serve him and build His kingdom.Where protection and safety abide when we follow Him and His word.When we no longer choose to serve Him, His voice cannot be heard. Learning from the annuls of history should endear ourContinue reading “Led by His Hand”
Open My Heart
As I take the holy Sacrament, open dear Lord my heart,Help me repent and cleanse with thy blood my inner part.Heal me as I take the bread an emblem of thy torn flesh,Make me whole, bind up my wounds, my resolve refresh. Take my heart from its current state, hardened and closed,Give me a newContinue reading “Open My Heart”
What Matters Most?
The pride of the world has taken hold of the hearts of mankind,For the love of substance and money has warped the human mind.Fine apparel, and adorning shrines unto ourselves above all,Leaving the poor, sick, needy, destitute, hungry in vain to call. How do we turn our hearts away from that rust that does canker,AndContinue reading “What Matters Most?”
Worship
Each day I choose to honor and revere the divine Son of God,To choose the path he would have me take along the iron rod.To find my heart aligned with his, signals my will to follow him,Daily I seek to fill my lamp with his anointing oil, my lamp trim. Seeking each day to activelyContinue reading “Worship”
Our Great Constitution
Born of God and written by man,Comes to us by divine command.The founding fathers did not rely,their own wisdom and strength to try. Forged on threat of death to all,They found the courage to stand tall.They did not fear man more then God,Nor the King of England with his royal rod. They stood with calmContinue reading “Our Great Constitution”
Peacemakers Wanted
To lead with compassion and understanding when emotions are high,Taking the higher road when no one else seems to care or even try.Filling our hearts with the love of God, spreading his love by example,Brings the peace his love provides when our baskets with bread are full. Being willing to extend virtue to those whoContinue reading “Peacemakers Wanted”
Finding Joy
Choice is the key to happiness in following Jesus Christ,Coming to know him through adversity, well worth the price.Choosing each day to follow him from morning until night,Making good decisions every day, always choosing the right. I can choose to follow him when tempted each and every day,Then, choose to find and help my brotherContinue reading “Finding Joy”
Becoming Whole in Christ
When the Lord healed the ten lepers on that miraculous day,All ten of them were healed as they went along their way.Only one returned to thank the Lord for his healing gift divine,In return his faith made him whole, his spirit healed in kind. How oft’ have we approached the Lord and asked to beContinue reading “Becoming Whole in Christ”
Living Water
When Christ asked for water from the woman at the well,She was non-believing until he offered her life to tell.Providing living water that she would never thirst more,Declaring his sonship and divinity she’d doubt no more. The bread and water we eat and drink each sabbath day,Reminds us he is the bread of life andContinue reading “Living Water”
