Morning Prayer...

 Marching Orders...

Chin up
Heart strong
Eyes on The Reward
Remember,
The journey is not long
and
We serve
The risen Lord


Lord, help us recognize the prize before our very eyes
Before its ash is scattered where only frayed echoes rise
This day that you have made is like an opportunity
Above all else to turn it into worship unto Thee

Lord, purify the mind adept in Reason’s cunning art
Remind us of promises kept when fear alarms the heart
Waken us to Your poetry with wonder’s virgin awe
Keen us to the security of Your love’s perfect law

Crucify self-importance; Lord, teach us humility
No matter what we do it is enough when done for Thee 
So, though the shoes that we are called to fill seem small and plain
If we do what we do for You, we do nothing in vain

Lord, You abide with us no matter what; this truth assures
We do not need to fret because Heaven and earth is Yours
Then let this new day You have made most thoroughly instill
In us pure joy to know it is enough to trust Your will

Amen

Waken us to Your poetry...
