There Are Days

There are days…

I wish I could return

To the days of old

People and things I once loved

There are days…

Yet I know that can never be

Besides that, I couldn’t take with me

Knowledge, wisdom and experience I’ve gained

There are days…

But I wouldn’t want to trade

How the Lord has grown and changed me

Compared to who I used to be

Lord, Today is the day

I want to focus on You

Not on my problems or trials and tribulations

Help me to find joy in You today

Five Minute Friday – Look Unto Me

Look unto Me, my daughter

Gaze upon my holiness

My righteousness untainted by sin

Look unto Me

Start each day by reading my Word

Holy Scripture which is active and alive

Look unto Me

Keep short accounts and unbroken fellowship

Repent, turn and follow Me

Look unto Me

Guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus

Be sanctified and set apart unto Me

Look unto Me

I will equip you for every good work

Strengthen and sustain you for what lies ahead
