John 3.13-17

Love’s gift for all, a precious gem,
That all might believe and find life’s key. -

On a cross, His last breath,
And God’s name above all will glow. -
Psalm 22.23-28

Will bow and proclaim His salvation’s bright star,
Forever His reign shall be known anew. -
Deuteronomy 30.15-end

Turn hearts to the Lord, walk in His light.

Life or death—be glad or sad—
And call on His name with all your might. -

To love less their possessions, and follow anew.

Who urged love and forgiveness in place,
To welcome the lost,
And forget any cost,
In kindness, he set forth His face. -

Humility makes wisdom to grow;
For strength is in grace, not in might,
A humble heart shines pure and bright,
And peace will with true virtue flow. -
Luke 14.1, 7-14
At a feast where the humble are sought,
He spoke of the lessons He’d taught,
“Choose seats low,” was His call,
“To be honored by all,”
And kindness in service is wrought. -
Hebrews 13.1-8, 15-16
Let brotherly love always grow,
With hospitality’s welcoming glow,
Remember those in distress,
And purity, no less,
For Christ’s joy we gladly bestow.
