You are a better version

Of yourself each day

That you keeps God's commandments,

Read His Word, and pray.

Strive for Best

Do the best you can

To get along with man

Strive for strength to lead

Another to God's plan

Bumpy Road

Life's a bumpy road

Full of curves and dips,

Damaging potholes,

Detours and exits.

No Matter

No matter what's going on

You've the covenant path

And faith to make you strong,

Wherever you are at. 

Stern Words

 Stern words can make you bleed

 As they puncture your own heart.

This is just what you need

 If you want for change to start.

Tighten Up the Ship

 Tighten up the ship

Secure those loose ends

Practice that choice knot

Which when pulled strengthens

There's a lot that goes on to run a tight ship and ropes are used for  docking, anchoring, towing, and rigging.  Ropes need to be secure and absorb the strain put on them. When someone says it is time to "tighten up the ship" they mean secure everything and make sure things are done right to prove they are well managed and efficient. 

How Do You Know?

 How do you know

If you don't try?

Pray that God show

You, 

Your reason why

He has a plan 

For each of us

Believe. You can 

Through 

His Son, Jesus!

Only Ever Urge and Encourage

 Only ever

Through courage and grace

Exhort others

to a softened place

The softened heart

Will return to light

Will turn to prayer

And fight the good fight
