In the Last Hour

 


We’ve already won yet we wait;

The devil’s disease, infected;

The Cure, waiting, not elected;

His glorious coming is delayed.


So we’re in the last hour; our state

Is to subject all things to Him,

To take the evil from the dim

Corners of this earth, set it past:

A new earth is revealed at last.

Come Lord! we sing in steadfast hymn.

Victory

 


“Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” (Matt. XXII, 30)


Victory you want?

Love your enemies;

Your dignity is preserved.

Love as God’s children:

Victory achieved.

Speak out now if you must,

Repent of your excesses;

In the end it’s Love we trust.


A win over self

Attracts hardened foes.

Your ardent goodness,

Attracts and converts.

A loving credence;

My prayers now rise with ease

And many sins are avoided:

Lord do with me as you please!

The Intersection

 

Serving ALL men He

Allowed One to die

For me, the undeserving.

Allowed me to sin,

Serving just my end:

Men who live for the day,

Engrossed in carnal pursuits with

Weighty matters left to weigh.


Offers ALL One’s Life,

Sacrifice unique,

Surpassing all others. my

Sacrifice, a price;

Offers I can’t make,

‘Til rationality

Runs dry; the intersection reached is

Faith by grace, new sanctity.

Hear My Prayer

 

you’ve passed on from here 

your body you did not take

i’m left wondering

i don’t have all the answers

but i trust you hear my prayers

Commandments

 


Childlike, come pray! Church, 

Hope in His kingdom,

We fight with the Militant!

Hope, deeds are required:

Childlike love, good soil,

A fondness for sinners.

An invitation to the feast,

Where freedom’s for prisoners.


Honor on High, You’re

Dauntless; table set.

One must come to the banquet,

Dauntless, and best dressed.

Honor to the Head!

Our grace: the Sacraments,

A Holy Counselor for our

Sure guidance, Your Commandments.
