Do Not Go Astray ~

Do not lose heart,
do not go astray
from the Good Shepherd
be not lead away.

Do not give up,
do not give in
do not let temptation
ever, ever win.

Do not wander,
do not roam around
do not lose the faith
that you have found.

Do not turn,
do not separate
do not get distracted
from the narrow gate.

Do not leave,
do not go your own way
do not let sin tempt you
from God to ever sway!

~~~~~~~~~~

Isaiah 53:6

“All we like sheep
have gone astray;
we have turned
every one to his own way;
and the Lord hath laid on him
the iniquity of us all.”

Let Me Not Tire ~

Lord, let me not tire,
or get too weary to do
the good works  . . .
that bring other’s to You.

Help me to be strong,
while sowing trust’s seeds
let not my faith get mixed
with the tares and weeds.

Lord, let me not faint,
in the heat of the day
help me to be strong
so hearts, I may sway.

Help me to always keep,
my eyes on the goal
so I may harvest for You
every wandering soul.

Lord, let me not tire,
while I wait to reap . . .
let me not ever get weary
of saving Your lost sheep!

~~~~~~~~~~

Galatians 6:9

And let us not be weary
 in well doing:
for in due season we shall reap,
if we faint not.

Use Me Lord ~

Use my eyes Lord,
so that I might see
all those who are
seeking after Thee.

Use my ears Lord,
so that I may hear
the crying out of those
who live in fear.

Use my tongue Lord,
so that I may confess
and tell the world
of Your Righteousness.

Use my arms Lord,
so I may reach out
and gather up those
filled with doubt.

Use my legs Lord,
let them run free
to bring lost sheep
back unto Thee.

Use me Lord,
use all of me . . .
a part of Your harvest
I labor to be!

~~~~~~

Luke 10:2
King James Version

“Therefore said he unto them,
The harvest truly is great,
but the labourers are few:
pray ye therefore the Lord
of the harvest, that he would
send forth labourers
into his harvest.
