Will You

Let this holy day be one of inward contemplation
of self appraisal, asking how He would see you
Admit your faults, the self seeking gratification
first step in the humbling task we each must do

We are but the fickle children of a patient Parent
who waits for us to see the love we are held in
Waiting for us to now awaken to the truth He sent
waiting to lift us from the stain and pain of sin

Be not so proud, for we are weak and oft a fool
valuing trinkets when offered riches beyond gold
Lift thy mortal eyes to a higher one, be not a tool
keep the covenant with Him as once we did of old

Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place


1. For the beauty of the earth,
for the glory of the skies,
for the love which from our birth
over and around us lies;
Lord of all, to thee we raise
this our joyful hymn of praise.
*****
For The Beauty Of The Earth

Blessings To All Who Enter Here

Good Sunday Morning


Will You

Let this holy day be one of inward contemplation

Johnn, I am so moved by this inspired poem this morning.
You need to publish that. It speaks straight to the heart.
