The Way
Paths set before us.
Which one will lead to heaven?
Jesus is the way.
“Jesus saith unto him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father, but by me’” (John 14:6, KJV).

The Creator and His Creation
How amazing it is, Oh God,
To see Your creation flourish.
To behold all that You grow,
To know that everything You nourish.
Nothing can live without You.
I know this to be true,
Because when I look in the mirror
I see the woman that You grew.
I am the clay, You are the potter,
Mold me according to Your will.
Oh, how incredible it is
To surrender and be still.

Sacrifice of Praise
The storms of life have returned
And I’m tempted to complain.
What should I do instead?
Give a sacrifice of praise.
“By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually,
that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name” (Hebrews 13:15, KJV).
