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
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.
ReplyDeleteRuth 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.
