Freedom

There is a freedom comes from GodThat mortal laws can never touch;The liberty to serve the truthBrings with it joy vouchsafed to suchAs wake to hear the Father's voice,And, hearing, follow and rejoice.

Courage

Wait a little longer,Love a little more.

From Church

The demand for church

I like to think of each church that grows up in a community as that community's answered prayer for the presence of the saving Christ—the message of God's love for humanity.

Love's Call

Keep watch, O pilgrim of the truth,Beside the temple gates,For error seeks an entrance thereWhen vigilance abates.

Windows

A little window, where the morning sunFloods in to cheer a new day just begun!

Today

I need not dread the tasks tomorrow brings,Nor fear to tread what seems a darkened way;With gratitude my soaring spirit singsAs from this thought a sweet assurance springs:I only have to trust God more today!

The Father's Care

The love that clothes the lily of the field,And feeds the hungry bird,Will care for you, God's well-beloved child;Your faintest call is heard.

Serenity

Though circling mists of hate enshroudThe way I tread,I know that by Love's guiding handI still am led.

Affluence

How rich in peace art Thou, O Father-Mother!Thy little children need not suffer fear,But sheltered safe, in holy gratitude,May know the calm of heavenly quietude.

Little Flock

Fear not, fear not, O little flock of God,Though ye be scattered and your shepherd gone!Wisdom ye gained while guided by his rod,And safety ye shall find when comes the dawn.
