The Truth That Guides Us

Oh Jesus, be the truth that guides us 
To the light that holds us together 

Be the way in which we must walk 
The path of love, joy, peace, and hope 

Let our minds and hearts be in You 
Bring us together, every guest and every soul 

Cleanse us from our lies, Lord 
So that all may hold true to Your teachings 

For You are the way to God 
May our hearts be made clean by Your blood 

Teach us true compassion 
And the holy teachings of Jesus 

For from the heart flows good and evil 
Yet evil should never be 

So let us hold true to Your teachings 
Jesus, our God, slowly purify our hearts 

For we raise the gospel of Jesus 
Our Savior, true and pure 

Our fullest love, 
Our life and light 

Amen

  1. A good prayer for us all to pray every day. I especially liked the way you gave the five requests in the first lines followed by the reason for them. Pretty colors in your solemn embroidery.

  2. Ruth A Miller seemed to enjoy hearing your new poem. The words read smoothly as I said them out loud. I think that is important in a poem. She said to tell everyone “hello”. I also described the beautiful colors and the painstaking embroidery of the holy words.
