Walking on this earth
following our path
in the way of Christ
guided by the cross;
knowing in our hearts
in spite of our doubts
a peace within us
even in storms, trials,
our troubles day to day
confident in our Savior
in the love of Almighty
God.
A home for us
at the end of the journey
the struggles of life
for the building of our
wisdom
to recognize our joy
that we have a place
already
set for us in paradise;
a home for us, being
prepared,
when we are called from
this life
to walk the streets of gold
face to face with our God.

-----------------------
Courage for These Days
Hope in our Lord
the future that he
promised
courage for these days
while we toil here on
earth
Courage to follow Jesus
on the servant’s path
to help our neighbors
out of your boundless love
Courage to heed
the Spirit’s callings
stepping out in faith
to do our loving part
Love to mend
offering his peace
living by his example
that all may know Christ
Words to speak
across the world
testifying to his power
that all will hear the
good news
Taking up our cross
using our gifts in his
service
courage in these days
while we toil here below
