1-23-16 One Thousand Horns

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

1 Corinthians 1:10 KJV

~~~~~~~~~~~

The body of the Lord should work as one,

For schisms and divisions work against

The gospel and the work that should be done

To bring the lost sheep home who were dispensed.

If we’re to be one body and one mind

We ought to preach and teach the selfsame thing.

It does no good if we are misaligned

Like walking when one foot is in a sling.

There is but one true Savior, Jesus Christ;

His words and actions clearly lead the way.

His awesome love for us was well sufficed;

He told us to repent and then obey.

If there’s one thousand horns in battle blown,

Who knows which way to victory is known?

~~~~~~~~~~~

REMEMBER: These days it is SO important to understand and follow the guidance of the Holy Ghost.

8-5-15 Two As One

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

⁷ For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

⁸ And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

⁹ What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Mark 10:6-9 KJV

~~~~~~~~~~~

A man should leave his parents for his wife

And she should cleave to him the same way, too.

Their marriage bond should last for all their life,

For they are one in essence, no more two.

God made both man and woman for this end,

To share a single love that’s greater still.

He fit them perfectly to then transcend

The normal bond of friendship and good will.

What God intended let no man pervert;

One woman and one man are meant to be,

And any other way would then subvert

The sovereign will of God, His set decree.

Then two as one becomes one with the Lord;

Beloved and beloved, one accord.

8-24-14 Forever One

When You began to live within my heart

The world no longer had its hold on me;

You sought me out and from the very start

The chains were loosed and Your love set me free.

I ran into Your arms and disappeared

Dissolving right away as One with You.

There was no ‘I’ the day that You appeared;

These eyes and ears are Yours – this conscience, too.

A drop becomes the sea, forever one

To touch the depths, the coasts and all between;

What’s joined together cannot be undone.

The earth and heavens now can both be seen.

            So when Your spirit touched me I was Yours;

            There’s now one set of footprints on the shore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV
