Jun 07.00: Light For The Day - "Belonging To God"

-- 1 Peter 2:9 (RSV)
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, God’s own people, that you may
declare the wonderful deeds of him who called
you out of darkness into his marvelous light."

------------------
How good you are, LORD, and how near you are
to us -- so near that we may always talk to you,
be comforted by you, breathe through you, 
be enlightened by you, find peace in you,
and gain spiritual nourishment from you. 

Grant that my fellowship with you may never
be polluted by malice, pride, envy, reed,
gluttony or falsehood. 
Grand that I may belong wholly to you.

-- John Sergieff

---------------
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:8 (RSV)
"Since we belong to the day, let us be sober,
and put on the breastplate of faith and love,
and for a helmet the hope of salvation."

-- Galatians 5:24 (RSV)
"And those who belong to Christ Jesus have
crucified the flesh with its passions and desires."
