God's Example

Do as I say, not as I do Our example is not a guide We know what the word of God says But these teachings are not applied God did not give us His teachings As a suggestion, a tip or a hint They are for preparation to be Holy So we can go forth as we've been sent Let us take heed to God's word Each word should permeate our day Let us follow in His footsteps I pray we follow in His way

God's Example

Fruits of the Saints

Do you see the branches of the saints?
Swaying with the wind to find His will?
They search for those who need their comfort.
Always seeking and never still.

Can you feel the trunk of their tree?
Rough against the cruelty of the land.
Yet when you peel away that layer
You find fibers soft on your hand.

Notice the large system of roots.
Planted and grounded in fertile ground.
Soaking up His water of life.
A stronger foundation can not be found.

Taste the bounty of their fruits
No thistles or thorns they bear.
If you choose correctly the fruits of the saints
You will Find His sustenance there

Be careful of the tree in which you partake
Good fruit is not found of every beautiful tree
They can not hide their fruits from God
And by yours fruits will you be known to me

I am priceless because you are worthy

I am a diamond, a ruby, an onyx most rare.
I am priceless to YOU 
Because YOU hung there.

Because you are the treasure that
All explorers should seek
They should spend their life to find it
Day after day and week after week.

And because you only are THE treasure 
That no kings wealth can obtain
Only by YOUR death on the cross
Could my freedom be sustained.

I pray to seek you 
With my life and with my last breath.
Because you gave me the best gift,
You gave me salvation from eternal death.
