Loving Proof

 

A new day is upon us; what waits, we do not know

Only the One who grants it can see where it will go

Then, with this sweet assurance that He will lead the way

We ought not to proceed, love, before we pause to pray

Joshua 1:9

Have I not commanded you? 

Be strong and courageous. 

Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, 

for the LORD your God will be with you 

wherever you go."

An Important Truth to learn and remember

whether we are very young or very old...

We don’t know what the day will bring 

Before its fling is through 

We don’t what we’ll lose or win 

But Lord, you do 

We don’t always love like we should 

Or use time’s gifted due 

To work toward the greater good 

But Lord, you do 

We don’t have what it takes to earn 

Eternal life, it’s true 

Or open Heaven’s gates in turn 

But Lord, you do

Deut.6:5-8

 5Love the Lord your God with all your heart 

and with all your soul and with all your strength. 

6These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.

 7Impress them on your children. 

Talk about them when you sit at home 

and when you walk along the road, 

when you lie down and when you get up. 

8Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

 9Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
