RENEWAL

Be thou reborn.

"PEACE, BE STILL"

He dwelt among the tombs, demented, lost,Untamed, undisciplined, with strength unknown,Fearing and fearsome, fitful, tempest-tossed.

I CHANGE MY COURSE

I cannot walk alone.

THE COMMAND

The daylight faded from my view,A mountain hid the sun:"What more, dear Father, can I do,Than is already done?

I SHALL NOT FEAR

I shall not fear the shadows on my path,For Love is near to shelter me from chill;I shall not fear, though in the way appearsThe outline of a bare and rugged hill.

SAFETY

We move with known impunity,A great and mighty caravanAware of the divine decree—His eyes are on the ways of man.

THE RECKONING

Dear Father, I will serve Thee and Thy Cause;I will obey and honor Thy just laws.

WE TREAD ON SPIRIT'S FORCES

We tread on Spirit's forces—lawsWhich hold the universe in glorious bondsOf freedom and security.
