After a Bad Day #Prayer #Poem

Posted on by

Today has been a letdown,

But it’s over! Thank you, Lord!

I pray tomorrow’s better

And my patience will endure.

I pray that when the morning sunlight

Kisses grass and trees,

It sends your peace and hope and love

Shining down on me!

And when tomorrow’s ended

As the gentle night begins,

I pray, whatever happens,
Help me turn to you within!

Amen.

When We Rise #Poem

Posted on by

When we rise

Do we realize?

Or is it just a new normal?

When we become enlightened,

Does the Light dawn?

Or is it simply another day?

When our knowledge yields to Truth,

Do we really know?

Or do we take it for granted?

When belief turns to awareness,

Do we awaken?

Or are we intimidated by its power?

O let us awaken!

Let us know beyond thought!

And let the Light dawn

As we realize

When we rise!

Charles Wesley’s well-known hymn is based on an older Bohemian hymn, whose author is unknown. The version we know today was written by Wesley, co-founder of the Methodist movement, in 1739. The original Bohemian title was “Jesus Christ is Risen Today,” while Wesley’s title was “Hymn for Easter Day.” More recently, it’s most often known by its first line, “Christ the Lord is Risen Today.”

Enjoy this lovely hymn, played on lyre, and have a blessed and happy Easter!
