In God's sacred dwelling, where love should reside,
Distinctions are made, and unity denied.
This sin of division, it lingers today,
Driving the divine Spirit far, far away.
For God's love knows no bounds, no partiality,
It cares not for outward appearances, you see.
In His Church, true differences lie within,
Humility, purity, righteousness therein.
No more should we judge by what meets the eye,
But seek the depths of the soul, where truth does lie.
Let not the walls of prejudice confine,
The unity we crave, the harmony divine.
For pride breeds discord, and envy does seethe,
It poisons our hearts, like a venomous wreath.
But in humility, we find true peace,
And in purity, our souls find release.
Let righteousness guide our thoughts and our deeds,
As we tend to the wounds that division breeds.
Embrace one another with love unconfined,
And let God's grace shine, in our hearts entwined.
For in His house, no walls should divide,
But a sanctuary of love, where all can abide.
Let us cast away judgment, embrace unity,
And welcome the Spirit, with joy and serenity.
So let us be vessels of love, pure and true,
Shattering the barriers that hinder the view.
For God's love is impartial, forever and a day,
In His Church, let unity and grace hold sway.

The ground at the cross is level for you and me
God's Love is available to everyone on bended knee
Rich or poor, God's bountiful Love frees us
For all seeking Him through His Son, Jesus
At the Cross that day, God's Love came to earth to stay
When Jesus shed His blood on the Cross that day
Thank you, God, for giving us an escape from sin
That through your Son Jesus, the race we may win

In everything good that is told, be very Bold
Tell about His Son Jesus of His weight in Gold
God will give you the power to share His Love in every hour.
Bringing many showers of blessings on his beautiful flowers
Unless we spread the word of Jesus, God’s Son
The prize in the race of life will never be won

The Young King Josiah. Illustration for Boys of Bible Story by C J Ridgeway (Griffith Farran, c 1890).
A young boy named Josiah, at the age of eight
Ruling the kingdom befell his fate
He asked his mother, Jedidah what must I do
She said I will pray to God and give the answers to you
As this young man grew in statue
He prayed to God to see him through
With many challenges lying ahead
He intently listened to what God said
Josiah's been blessed by God all his life
Because of his Love for God
He led a life of little strife

We can plant the seed; only God can make it grow
It has to be watered and nourished for it's beauty to show
We are the planter, and God is the reaper
From birth to death, I am my brother's keeper
Many things are not understood on this earth, you know
Understanding will come after seeing His Heavenly Glow
Thank you, God, for not giving up on me
Giving me the patience for Your Mercy to see
After meeting Your Son Jesus on this lonely road of life
My soul was Baptised in Your Love Mercy and Eternal Life.

May every day be Sunny as you travel your life through
May every day be pleasant in whatever you do
A sunny attitude lifts you above the dark of a cloudy day
Giving you a different perspective in almost every way
Having a sunny attitude in whatever you do
Will let the light of Jesus come shining through you

In the vineyard of life, a sacred bond we find,
Where the Divine is the vine, and we are branches entwined.
In the words of old, a truth divine unfolds,
For in unity we flourish, as destiny enfolds.
"I am the vine," He whispers, with tender grace,
And we, the branches, seek solace in His embrace.
In this mystical union, we discover our worth,
For rooted in His love, we bear fruits of rebirth.
If we remain in Him, in steadfast devotion,
His life flows through us, a celestial potion.
With every breath, we draw from His endless supply,
Nurtured by His essence, we'll never run dry.
Bound by His presence, we blossom and grow,
Through seasons of joy or moments of woe.
For apart from Him, we're but withered and frail,
In His abiding love, our spirits prevail.
Through trials and challenges, we find our strength,
Sustained by the vine, we go to any length.
In unity, we discover purpose and might,
Transformed by His spirit, we shine in His light.
Let not the world seduce, with its transient charms,
For true fulfillment lies in His welcoming arms.
In communion with Him, we find our true identity,
Nourished by His truth, we thrive with vitality.
So let us abide, in this divine connection,
Immersed in His love, with unwavering affection.
For as the branches, we're called to bear fruit,
Manifesting His love, our purpose absolute.
In the vineyard of life, intertwined and true,
We surrender to Him, as He calls us to do.
For in the embrace of the vine, we're forever free,
Bearing much fruit, bound for eternity.
Joh 15:5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

If I listen, don't talk; that seems the most appropriate way
I can learn so much more every day
Listening to a person encourages and builds them up
Talking too much will disinterest them and empty my cup
Whatever I do if I show Love in my talk
It will bring me closer to God through my walk
Thank you, God, for the Holy Spirit that came in with Jesus that day
Guiding me through my journey through life all along the way

Spanning the bridge of time
God's Love and Grace are forever mine
From the time I was born till the time I draw my last breath
God has been with me and will walk with me through death
My body will die and go back to this green earth
My soul will continue to live through His Great Worth.
