THE GARMENT'S HEM

I touched the garment's hem today,and prayed that God's own hand would lead me                                                               to the highest height.
No vaulted nave, no towering spire,We dedicate with faith today.

DISTRIBUTION

As Spirit's witnesses we keepThe Lord's command to feed his sheep,Distributing God's boundless wealthThrough our reflection of true health,Expressing Love and Truth each dayTo weary ones who pass our way,Imparting hope and joy and peace,Which bring to heavy hearts release;In selfless living we fulfillThe doing of our Father's will.

THE GIFT OF GOD

To wake at dawn and know anewThat Christ comes hourly to youIs fragrance of rare frankincense,Is myrrh of God's omnipotence,Is gold from out that greater mold;It is to live within Love's fold.

LET US NOT FEAR

Let us not fear life's starless nightNor hear the tale it tells—The earthborn chronicle of manAnd sorrow it impels.
