More fully Christ-like – v2

I wanted to lash out
to defend my family
for the ignorant words
the slings and arrows
falling on them
How we were judged by appearance
on anger, opinion only
their facts and figures
their bile spewed
falling on us

I need to be forgiving
to choose to walk away
to be more fully Christ-like
in my words, my actions
to not lash out
not joining in the argument
mine not the voice
to right this wrong
I am choosing to walk away
I leave it to God.

on my shoulder – v6

I need to remember
I need to trust
because I am never alone
on my journey,
in this walk.
God is with us
on my shoulder
as I walk in life;
God is here to guide me
to direct me;
the yoke of Christ
is upon me,
in every step,
as I walk in life

It is in the little things
the small decisions
on the journey that matter.
The choices to be made,
the choices to remain
to stay true to God
or to turn, to run away;
We are called to be Christ
to share love as He does
to be a blessing, to be light,
in every step, each moment,
as I as I journey forward,
in every step,
as I walk in life

sharing around the table – v2

We are sharing around the table
with those whom we love;
Our families gathered together
sharing in the meal

There is love in the sharing
of our blessings, the feast before us;
Speaking aloud our thankfuls
calling us closer to Thee.

knowing – 2 – v2


God knows everything
the stars in the universe
all-knowing of
that which is unknown
that which is a mystery
known already
by Almighty God
Omniscient, all-knowing
knitting our bodies
in the dark places
the number of hairs known
all of God’s plans
the days of our lives
all of these known
by Almighty God

a home – v2

a home for us
for Jesus, for the Spirit
a temple a life within the walls
sharing together worship
just a building, components,
until we make it a home
life within the walls
laughing, crying together
life within the body
the family, the church
just a building otherwise
brick, stone, and wood

we aren’t Christians

we aren’t Christians
when we hate our neighbor
when we gossip about them
in secret, behind their back

we aren’t being Christians
when we judge the sinner
because all of us have fallen
far short of God’s Law

we can’t claim to be a Christian
when we find another unworthy
what gives us that right;
who died and made us like God!

on my shoulder – v4

I need to remember
that God is with us
on my shoulder
as I walk in life;
God is here to guide me
to direct me;
the yoke of Christ
is upon me
as I walk in life

little things
on the journey,
choices to be made,
to stay true to God
or to turn, to run away;
called to share love
to be a blessing, light,
in every step, each moment,
as I walk in life.

in the name of our Lord

in the name of our Lord,  
Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
who came in the flesh,
who brought us the way to life,
to salvation, to glory;
We repent of our sins,
we die in the water,

the One who came in the flesh,
we die, we rise again,
up from the water;
We go into the wilderness, the world
to be His light, His messengers,
to be His hands and His feet,
because of the God who came in the flesh,
we walk by faith, with the Spirit guiding;
Every step we take
is by God’s grace and
for God’s glory,
in the name of the risen Christ.
