The gift of God

by David Weller


The gift of love

is not unique--


It's giving bread to the hungry

It's giving comfort to the sick

It's giving presence to the prisoned

It's giving clothes to the naked


abundance of love--

The gift of God

A light for the night
by David Weller, OSL


A light for the night...

A whim to honor Him...



A rite for Her right...

A yen from my pen...

The heart
by David Weller


their needs are great,
thus says the Lord...
lest heed too late,
thus says the Word...

Washed by the blood of Jesus
by David Weller, OSL


We are washed by the blood of Jesus!
Yes, cleansed by His precious Love

He's flowing like a fountain new!
Yes, love of our Saviour true

Yes, love adorned by He who gives,
All the soul that one could give,
Everlasting stream we may live



We love you, God, for what you've done,
Love from You, yes, our souls are won!

I adore You, O Lord

I adore You, O Lord--

I give You thanks for meaning!

I relish Your thoughts,

And I keep Your Commandments.

And I share Your Testament.

The fire within!
by David Weller, OSL


The fire within!
Praise to you, higher!
Let the love begin!
My heart's for hire!

My mind's for hire!
Praise to you, Lord!
My soul's on fire!
Armed with your Word!

I sow your Word!
Praise to you, Spirit!
Our kin-dom's to win!
The Bible we visit!

Time
by David Weller, OSL


The past was but haste...
I sinned...
I neglected Jesus,
And my mind was cast...

The future is anxiety...
I'm greedy...
I forget about God,
And my heart lacks piety...

The present is bowed...
I discern...
I pray to the Lord,
And my soul is vowed...



Great is the Trinity

by David Weller


Great is the power of God

Great is His strength!

Great are His gifts for us

Giving to the greatest of lengths!


Great is the life of Jesus

Great is His story!

Great was His resurrection for us

Rising to the throne for eternity!


Great is the Word of the Spirit

Great is His thought!

Great are His messages for us

Speaking what the Bible has taught!

Jesus saves

by David Weller


When I'm due and behind,

Jesus helps me in kind

When I'm deep into debt,

Jesus helps me pay yet


When I'm burdened with doubt,

Jesus helps me find out

When I'm loaded with care,

Jesus helps me get there

I see-- and I must--

by David Weller


I see that person's behavior--


I see that person's guilt--

I must confess sins I've built...


I see that person's ambition--

I must own due contrition...


I see that person's pride--

I must humility abide...


I see that person's power--

I must speak truth to power...


I see that person's loneliness--

I must be as his witness...


I must share with him our Saviour...

If we believe

by David Weller


If we believe...


God created the universe.

God created Adam and Eve.

God saved us from the flood,

God gave us commandments

and we neglected Him and worse...


His Son was born from a virgin.

His Son fed the poor.

His Son healed the sick,

His Son taught us faith

and we heard and denied Him...


His Son suffered for us.

His Son bled for us.

His Son cried for us,

His Son died for us

and we remembered and cried for Him...


His Son rose from the dead.

His Son moved the boulder.

His Son met us his disciples,

His Son shared with us his wounds

and we are reconciled with Him...


If we believe in Him.
