Help Thou Us Be Like Thee
Jesus Christ is my Lord
He helps me every day.
To him I work toward,
And to thee Lord I pray
Help thou us be like thee.
Jesus Christ paid the price
For sins I did commit.
I give up my greed and vice
My sins He will remit.
Help thou us be like thee.
Jesus Christ reigns supreme
He is the Son of God.
My soul he does redeem,
Though I am weak and flawed.
Help thou us be like thee.
Jesus Christ loves us all,
And for our sins he paid.
He raised us from the fall,
For this work we were made.
Help thou us be like thee.

The still small voice from God above

Once more enjoy thy heavenly grace.

Audio of this piece is available at the bottom of the post.Christmas Symbols
The wealth of holiday symbols
Bring Christ to mind to me:
The Christmas wreath; eternal love,
God’s love which sets me free.
The candy canes hung on the tree;
Of shepherds faith remind.
The star which pointed to his birth
Leads us though we be blind.
The red of Christmas; like his blood.
The white; of purity.
The tree of green; eternal life.
Ornaments; his glory.
The bells ring out to guide us back
To Heavenly Father’s side.
Christ’s present is salvation’s gift;
With us he will abide.

When I am bound in sin
I stop and let him in
To clean my heart within
With his blood begin
To wash the sin away.
I can be pure today
For my sins he did pay
By his side I will stay
And all his words obey
To wash the sin away.
Bless me now to apply
The atonement to my
Weighty sins, Lord I cry
As thy kingdom draws nigh
And wash my sin away.

Prayer of Thanks
I thank thee Lord for thy great care
In helping those in need.
Let me remember them in prayer
And in my every deed.
I have been blessed with peace sublime
While others strive with war.
I can enjoy the gifts of time
While some have time no more.
While those who cry for mercy still
Plead daily for thy grace,
I marvel at thy grace I feel,
And long to see thy face.
Oh bless us now with pure intent,
To hear that small, still voice.
We thank thee for all thou hast sent,
In which we do rejoice.

My Savior
In the green of Gethsemane,
My Savior bled for me
The drops of sweat that flowed like blood
Said, “I will die for thee.”
The Cross of Calvary was the place
Mu Savior died for me.
He took upon him all my sins
And gave God the glory.
He washed the feet of all the twelve.
My Savior showed to me,
That service must fill all my days
Unto eternity.
“Hallowed be thy name, O Lord”,
My Savior prayed for me.
Help me to hallow all they works,
As I kneel on bended knee.

Harvey Humdinger by Dane Allred

Harvey Humdinger
by Dane Allred
One day Harvey Humdinger was sitting around,
Just being quiet, not making a sound,
When out of the blue came a shy little voice,
That said, “Harvey, please help me to make a good choice.”
Harvey looked under the sofa and under the chair,
But saw that no one was found to be there.
“What was that small voice?” Harvey thought to himself.
“Could it come from the closet, or up on the shelf?”
And just when Harvey thought he must be deluded,
“My imagination’s acting up,” he concluded.
But just at that moment, he heard it again,
A voice that called out to Harvey, “Attention!”
“I’m trying to choose between right and wrong,
And you look so wise, trustworthy and strong,
I just know you can help me decide what is right,
And help me to grow, before I vanish from sight!”
Harvey thought to himself, “Such a small voice,
It’s not the small voice that guides me in a choice.
I wonder who could have a voice that’s so small?
I wonder if this voice is not there at all?
“I’m right here,” said the voice, “You can’t see me yet,
But I’m smaller than anyone you’ve ever met.
Just help me to do one thing that is right,
And I promise I’ll grow and appear in your sight.”
“What do you need to decide, my small friend?”
Said Harvey, “What kind of help can I lend?”
“Well, to help me out first, please tell me sir,
When I play with my best friend, should I be nice to her?”
Harvey had never heard of such a thing,
“Of course you should always be nice, and to everything.”
“Even my dog, or my cat when they’re cross?”
“Especially then.” “But what about Ross?”
Harvey scratched his head and wondered out loud,
“Who is Ross?” “He’s my brother, and he is quite proud,
Of being a nuisance and making me mad.”
“No matter what, be nice to the lad.”
“Be nice to friends? To Ross? Nice to All?
That is the secret of how to stand tall?”
And just at that moment, Harvey heard a strange sound,
A very strange sound that came up from the ground.
And suddenly standing before his very eyes,
Was a very small person of very small size!
“How do you do? And thanks for the advice,
You’ve helped me to grow to a size that’s quite nice.”
“I’m Arnold,” he said. “So what is your name?”
“I’m Harvey Humdinger. Say what is this game?”
“I’m sorry to say that it’s no game at all,
But my poor manners that have made me so small.”
“I was rude to my neighbors, my pets and my friends,
I drove my parents around many bends.
I was small and petty, and so one night
I simply vanished completely from sight!”
“Since that time I have wandered the earth,
To try to find someone, like you of great worth!
Someone who can help me to grow very tall,
To tell me the truth about one and all!”
Harvey sat Arnold down upon his knee,
And said, “Arnold, now please listen to me.
‘Be nice to all’, is a great place to start,
‘Please’ and ‘Thank You’ are a very large part.”
“But the thing I have learned that is of the most worth,
Since the day I appeared here upon this earth,
Is that no matter how small or how tall,
You must show love to one and to all.”
Arnold sat silently for quite a while,
And then suddenly he broke out in a smile.
“But Harvey, I do love all that I see,
And I hope everyone feels love from me.”
“I think no matter how tall or how small,
Love is the greatest gift of them all.
I will show my love to everyone now,
Since you’ve been so kind as to show me how.”
And Arnold grew up more in that minute,
Than in all his life and the minutes in it.

Silly Old Nog by Dane Allred

Silly Old Nog
Silly old Nog walks backwards through life,
Carrying only a suitcase and knife.
Nog wanders here and Nog wanders there,
But never really arrives anywhere.
He trips over people along the way
Apologizing, “Excuse me, I pray,
But since I am walking backwards you see,
It’s really you who just ran into me.”
He says, “I’m backing up with this sharp knife,
So my dear friend, I have just saved your life,
But please watch your step, my dear little friend,
I’d rather not be run into again.”
And then that Old Nog would take down your name,
Reminding you that you’re really to blame,
Fold up that paper and lock it up tight,
Then warn you to leave and get out of sight.
“If you run into me again,
I will look up your paper and then
This knife won’t point so far away
But maybe straight at you
And maybe poke at you
And maybe stab at you
And maybe stab in you
--If you know what I say.”
If silly Nog would put that knife away,
And stop walking backwards for just one day
We’d all be safer and much better served
And Nog no longer would have to be heard.
Or bumped into.

Love's Growth
by John Donne
I scarce believe my love to be so pure
As I had thought it was,
Because it doth endure
Vicissitude, and season, as the grass;
Methinks I lied all winter, when I swore
My love was infinite, if spring make it more.
But if medicine, love, which cures all sorrow
With more, not only be no quintessence,
But mixed of all stuffs paining soul or sense,
And of the sun his working vigor borrow,
Love’s not so pure, and abstract, as they use
To say, which have no mistress but their muse,
But as all else, being elemented too,
Love sometimes would contemplate, sometimes do.
And yet no greater, but more eminent,
Love by the spring is grown;
As, in the firmament,
Stars by the sun are not enlarged, but shown,
Gentle love deeds, as blossoms on a bough,
From love’s awakened root do bud out now.
If, as water stirred more circles be
Produced by one, love such additions take,
Those, like so many spheres, but one heaven make,
For they are all concentric unto thee;
And though each spring do add to love new heat,
As princes do in time of action get
New taxes, and remit them not in peace,
No winter shall abate the spring’s increase.
