Flee and Follow

But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
1 Timothy 6:11

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

- Romans 12:12 

What we need is

A cup of understanding

A barrel of love, and

An ocean of patience.

- St. Francis de Sales

Slow Me Down

Slow me down, Lord, I'm going too fast.

I can't see my brother when he's walking past.

I miss a lot of good things day by day;

I don't know a blessing when it comes my way.

Slow me down, Lord, I want to see

More of the things that are good for me.

A little less of me and a little more of you,

I want the heavenly atmosphere to trickle through.

Let me help a brother when the going is rough.

When folks work together life isn't so tough.

Slow me down, Lord, so I can talk

With some of your angels. Slow me down to a walk.

He's Still Working on Me

There really ought to be a sign upon my heart:
"Don't judge him yet, there's an unfinished part,"
But I'll be perfect just according to His plan
Fashioned by the Master's loving hand

He's still workin' on me
To make me what I ought to be
It took Him just a week to make the moon and the stars,
The sun and the Earth and Jupiter and Mars
How loving and patient He must be!
He's still working on me

In the mirror of His word, reflections that I see
Make me wonder why He never gave up on me
But He loves me as I am, and helps me when I pray
Remember He's the Potter, I'm the clay

The Potter Knows the Clay

I know you are going through the fire
It’s getting hard to stand the heat
But even harder is the wondering
Is God’s hand still on me
It’s lonely in the flames
When you’re counting days of pain

But the Potter knows the clay
How much pressure it can take
How many times around the wheel
’Til there’s submission to His will
He’s planned a beautiful design
But it’ll take some fire and time
It’s gonna be okay
’Cause the Potter knows the clay

Friend I just came through that fire
Not too very long ago
And looking back I can see why
And that my God was in control
But on the hottest days I’d cry
Oh Lord, isn’t it about time

But the Potter knows the clay
How much pressure it can take
How many times around the wheel
’Til there’s submission to His will
He’s planned a beautiful design
But it’ll take some fire and time
It’s gonna be okay
’Cause the Potter knows the clay

Potter’s Wheel

The world is fast becoming younger
The news is all they’ve ever known
They’ve seen the wars, the hurt, the hunger
How will they choose when they are grown
What do you tell forever’s children
When it’s their turn to hurt and heal
Whatever spins a grim tornado
Can also turn a potter’s wheel

Take a little clay
Put it on a wheel
Get a little hint
How God must feel
Give a little turn
Listen to a spin
Make it into the shape
You want it in

Tell with your life the bloody story
Teach to they’re dreams not burning steel
It’s not in bombs where lies the glory
But in what’s shattered on the field
The potter’s wheel takes love and caring
Skill and patience, fast and slow
The works it makes are easily broken
Once they survive the potter’s throw

Take a little clay
Put it on a wheel
Get a little hint
How God must feel
Give a little turn
Listen to a spin
Make it into the shape
You want it in

Some day some children will be digging
In some long forgotten ground
And they’ll find our civilization
Or what’s left of it to be found
They’ll find the weapons of destruction
But buried deeper in the hole
They’ll find a message and a promise
In the sand, the potter’s bowl

Take a little clay
Put it on a wheel
Get a little hint
How God must feel
Give a little turn
Listen to a spin
Make it into the shape
You want it in

Earth and fire and wind conspire
With human hands, and love, and fire

Hymn to Love

LOVE is patient, 

            is kind. 

LOVE does not envy, 

            does not act wrongly, 

            is not inflated. 

LOVE is not ambitious, 

            does not seek for itself, 

            is not provoked to anger, 

            devises no evil. 

LOVE does not rejoice over iniquity, 

            but does rejoice in truth. 

LOVE suffers all, 

            believes all, 

            hopes all, 

            endures all. 

LOVE is never torn away, even if prophecies pass away, or languages cease, or knowledge is destroyed. 

For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part. 

But when the PERFECT arrives, the imperfect passes away. 

1 Corinthians 13:4–10
