Prologue

The more we reflect the truth of God,

the more our lives

will show others the author of all God’s

truth.

FAVOR

I know You, I think, some may call me Your saint.

I hear You, not because of this,

But because You assist me to do Your will.

Nothing from me, all is from Thee.

You proved it long ago

(Yesterday) on a tree.

Dying, You live. So I give my life

And all that I savor

Cause Your acts give me favor.

GLORY

Great wings of faith not found,

Gifts and talents are not around.

Not what I can do for You, but what You have done for me.

When this is known, then Your glory I see.

I know that I can do not enough for You,

But You can do in and with me.

Then in Your glory will I be. Not the strife that I bear,

But what I see and what I hear

WHAT I CAN DO

I can but hear

Because of fear

And live in the Dark, not Light.

At last I behold, in part, what I’m told

And look to You Lord, in fright.

Knowing not what to do,

I in Love turn to You,

Finding that in You is sight.

Then I stand, my feet in the sand,

Seeking all that is good and right.

I gaze above and look for your love,

I find that You are true.

You descend like a Dove,

Leading us to find your love.

WE HAVE

WE HAVE A LOVING, HOLY,

JUST, GOOD,

FAITHFUL, ETERNAL,

SUPREME CREATOR.

Because Your love, like a dove,

Comes down from above.

Your presence in here makes us Holy.

We are just because You are in us.

Your goodness is true

And we are thankful too.

Your gift is eternal, Your love is supernal,

Supreme. You reign as Creator.

Please work in me to shape a life for
