Listen closely, to what I’m saying

Pay attention and gain understanding

I’ll give you sound learning,

so don’t forsake my teaching.

My father told me, “Take hold of my words 

keep my commands, and your life preserve

Get wisdom, get understanding

don’t forget my words don’t go running

Pay attention to what I say;

turn your ears my way

Don’t let them out of your sight,

Don’t give up the fight

keep these words in your heart;

Don’t let them depart

These words are life to those who find them

and health to those who mind them

Above all else, guard your heart, 

Everything you do flows from it

You gotta guard your heart

Don’t forsake wisdom, she’ll protect you

Don’t forget to love her, she’ll watch over you

Get wisdom,though it costs you everything 

Cherish understanding, she’ll exalt you

I’ll instruct you in wisdom’s way

Lead you on a path that’s straight

When you walk, you will not stumble

Hold tight and do not fumble;

Pay attention to what I say;

turn your ears my way

Don’t let them out of your sight,

Don’t give up the fight

keep these words in your heart;

Don’t let them depart

These words are life to those who find them

and health to those who mind them

Above all else, guard your heart, 

Everything you do flows from it

You gotta guard your heart

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun

shining ever brighter till the light of day is full

The way of the wicked is like deep deep darkness

they don’t seem to know what makes them fall

Pay attention to what I say;

turn your ears my way

Don’t let them out of your sight,

Don’t give up the fight

keep these words in your heart;

Don’t let them depart

These words are life to those who find them

and health to those who mind them

Above all else, guard your heart, 

Everything you do flows from it

You gotta guard your heart

These words are life to those who find them

and health to those who mind them

Above all else, guard your heart, 

Everything you do flows from it

You gotta guard your heart

Above all else, guard your heart, 

Everything you do flows from it

You gotta guard your heart

Above all else, guard your heart, 

Everything you do flows from it

You gotta guard your heart

Proverbs 4

New International Version

Get Wisdom at Any Cost

4 Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction;

    pay attention and gain understanding.

2 I give you sound learning,

    so do not forsake my teaching.

3 For I too was a son to my father,

    still tender, and cherished by my mother.

4 Then he taught me, and he said to me,

    “Take hold of my words with all your heart;

    keep my commands, and you will live.

5 Get wisdom, get understanding;

    do not forget my words or turn away from them.

6 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you;

    love her, and she will watch over you.

7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get[a] wisdom.

    Though it cost all you have,[b] get understanding.

8 Cherish her, and she will exalt you;

    embrace her, and she will honor you.

9 She will give you a garland to grace your head

    and present you with a glorious crown.”

10 Listen, my son, accept what I say,

    and the years of your life will be many.

11 I instruct you in the way of wisdom

    and lead you along straight paths.

12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;

    when you run, you will not stumble.

13 Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;

    guard it well, for it is your life.

14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked

    or walk in the way of evildoers.

15 Avoid it, do not travel on it;

    turn from it and go on your way.

16 For they cannot rest until they do evil;

    they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.

17 They eat the bread of wickedness

    and drink the wine of violence.

18 The path of the righteous is like the morning sun,

    shining ever brighter till the full light of day.

19 But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness;

    they do not know what makes them stumble.

20 My son, pay attention to what I say;

    turn your ear to my words.

21 Do not let them out of your sight,

    keep them within your heart;

22 for they are life to those who find them

    and health to one’s whole body.

23 Above all else, guard your heart,

    for everything you do flows from it.

24 Keep your mouth free of perversity;

    keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

25 Let your eyes look straight ahead;

    fix your gaze directly before you.

26 Give careful thought to the[c] paths for your feet

    and be steadfast in all your ways.

27 Do not turn to the right or the left;

    keep your foot from evil.

Now I’ll come to you 

when I pass through 

I may remain

Oh you know a great 

and effective door 

has opened to me 

and there are many adversaries.

If a brother comes 

see that he may be with you

without fear;

for you know He does 

the work of the Lord, 

Just as I also do. 

I say

Watch, 

stand fast in the faith, 

be brave, 

be strong. 

Let all that you do be done 

with love

Watch, 

stand fast in the faith, 

be brave, 

be strong. 

Let all that you do be done 

with love

Therefore let no one 

despise him.

But send him on his way in peace, 

that he may come to me; 

for I am waiting for him 

with the brethren

I urge you, brethren

Devote yourselves 

to the ministry 

of the saints

also submit to 

everyone who works 

and labors with us.

I say

Watch, 

stand fast in the faith, 

be brave, 

be strong. 

Let all that you do be done 

with love

Watch, 

stand fast in the faith, 

be brave, 

be strong. 

Let all that you do be done 

with love

What was lacking on your part your brothers supplied

They refreshed my spirit and yours

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen

I say

Watch, 

stand fast in the faith, 

be brave,

1 Corinthians 16:13-14

1Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also: 2On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come. 3And when I come, whomever you approve by your letters I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem. 4But if it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me.

Personal Plans

5Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia). 6And it may be that I will remain, or even spend the winter with you, that you may send me on my journey, wherever I go. 7For I do not wish to see you now on the way; but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

8But I will tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost. 9For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

10And if Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear; for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do. 11Therefore let no one despise him. But send him on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren.

12Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brethren, but he was quite unwilling to come at this time; however, he will come when he has a convenient time.

Final Exhortations

13Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. 14Let all that you do be done with love.

15I urge you, brethren—you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints— 16that you also submit to such, and to everyone who works and labors with us.

17I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for what was lacking on your part they supplied. 18For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge such men.

Greetings and a Solemn Farewell

19The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. 20All the brethren greet you.

Greet one another with a holy kiss.

21The salutation with my own hand—Paul’s.

22If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!

23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

I cried out to the Lord When I was hard pressed 

And He brought me in To a place of spacious rest

The Lord is with me I will not be afraid

What can mere mortals do When I carry His name

Give thanks to the Lord 

You know He’s good

And His love endures forever

I was pushed back about to fall,

The Lord helped me through it all

The Lord is my strength and my defense    

He’s become my salvation, guides my steps

You know His love 

His love endures forever

Shouts resound in the tents Of joy and victory

The Lord’s right hand It is so mighty

You know that it Is lifted high

You know that I will live And I  won’t die

Give thanks to the Lord 

You know He’s good

And His love endures forever

I was pushed back about to fall,

The Lord helped me through it all

The Lord is my strength and my defense    

He’s become my salvation, guides my steps

You know His love 

His love endures forever

The stone the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone

You are my God, and I will praise you

you are my God, I will exalt you

Give thanks to the Lord 

You know He’s good

And His love endures forever

I was pushed back about to fall,

The Lord helped me through it all

The Lord is my strength and my defense    

He’s become my salvation, guides my steps

His love endures forever

Give thanks to the Lord 

For he is good

Psalm 118

New International Version

Psalm 118

1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

    his love endures forever.

2 Let Israel say:

    “His love endures forever.”

3 Let the house of Aaron say:

    “His love endures forever.”

4 Let those who fear the Lord say:

    “His love endures forever.”

5 When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord;

    he brought me into a spacious place.

6 The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.

    What can mere mortals do to me?

7 The Lord is with me; he is my helper.

    I look in triumph on my enemies.

8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord

    than to trust in humans.

9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord

    than to trust in princes.

10 All the nations surrounded me,

    but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.

11 They surrounded me on every side,

    but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.

12 They swarmed around me like bees,

    but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns;

    in the name of the Lord I cut them down.

13 I was pushed back and about to fall,

    but the Lord helped me.

14 The Lord is my strength and my defense[a];

    he has become my salvation.

15 Shouts of joy and victory

    resound in the tents of the righteous:

“The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!

16     The Lord’s right hand is lifted high;

    the Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!”

17 I will not die but live,

    and will proclaim what the Lord has done.

18 The Lord has chastened me severely,

    but he has not given me over to death.

19 Open for me the gates of the righteous;

    I will enter and give thanks to the Lord.

20 This is the gate of the Lord

    through which the righteous may enter.

21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me;

    you have become my salvation.

22 The stone the builders rejected

    has become the cornerstone;

23 the Lord has done this,

    and it is marvelous in our eyes.

24 The Lord has done it this very day;

    let us rejoice today and be glad.

25 Lord, save us!

    Lord, grant us success!

26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

    From the house of the Lord we bless you.[b]

27 The Lord is God,

    and he has made his light shine on us.

With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession

    up[c] to the horns of the altar.

28 You are my God, and I will praise you;

    you are my God, and I will exalt you.

29 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

    his love endures forever.

[Instrumental intro]

The Spirit of the Lord has anointed me 

to bring good news to the poor and weary

He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted 

and to proclaim that captives will be released 

and prisoners will be freed 

[Chorus]

To all who mourn, 

He will give 

A crown of beauty for ashes, 

A joyous blessing 

Instead of weeping, 

Replace their despair with praise 

Oh I’ll love Him all my days

He has sent me to tell all those who grieve 

that the time of His favor has come, 

And with it, the day of His anger 

Against their enemies

[Chorus]

To all who mourn, 

He will give 

A crown of beauty for ashes, 

A joyous blessing 

Instead of weeping, 

Replace their despair with praise 

Oh I’ll love Him all my days

[Bridge]

In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks 

the Lord has planted for his own

[Chorus]

To all who mourn, 

He will give 

A crown of beauty for ashes, 

A joyous blessing 

Instead of weeping, 

Replace their despair with praise 

Oh I’ll love Him all my days

He will give 

A crown of beauty for ashes, 

A joyous blessing 

Instead of weeping, 

Replace their despair with praise 

Oh I’ll love Him all my days

[spoken, no music]

“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, 

for the Lord has anointed me 

to bring good news to the poor. 

He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted 

and to proclaim that captives will be released 

and prisoners will be freed.”

Maybe pop country if that makes sense. I love country and I love blues so that’s nice too.

“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord’s favor has come, and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies. To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory.”

[Verse 1]  

“Futility,” I say

“Absolute futility” 

“Everything is futile”  

What do we gain from all we do  

[Verse 2]  

A generation comes and goes

The earth remains forever 

The sun rises and sets 

And hurries back as the cycle resets

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh this weary life

All pointless strife

What more is there to say

The eye’s not satisfied by seeing

The ear’s not satisfied with hearing

[Chorus] 

What has been

Is what will be 

what’s been done 

Is all there is to see

There is nothing new under the sun 

Everything has already been done

[Verse 3]

Can you say about anything 

“Look, this thing is new” 

What is now has already existed 

Time is the only thing that shifted 

[Verse 4]

There is no memory

Of the ones who came before  

There’ll be no memory

Of any of those who follow   

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh this weary life

All pointless strife

What more is there to say

The eye’s not satisfied by seeing

The ear’s not satisfied with hearing

What’s crooked cannot be straightened  

What’s lacking cannot be gained 

I gained wisdom and knowledge 

It's madness and folly  

All a pursuit of the wind  

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh this weary life

All pointless strife

What more is there to say

The eye’s not satisfied by seeing

The ear’s not satisfied with hearing

[Chorus] 

What has been

Is what will be 

what’s been done 

Is all there is to see

There is nothing new under the sun

what’s been done 

Is all there is to see

There is nothing new under the sun 

Everything has already been done

For with much wisdom is much sorrow  

With knowledge is grief

I have seen all these things 

And found everything 

Is meaningless

The strong ought to bear 

the failings of the weak 

Not seek to please

themselves 

Each of us should help 

our neighbors

and build them up 

for their good

May the God who gives 

endurance and encouragement 

give you the same attitude 

that Jesus had

so that with one mind 

and one voice 

you may glorify God our Father

The Lord Jesus Christ.

May the God of hope 

Fill you with all joy and peace 

As you trust in him

So that you may overflow 

With hope 

By the power of the Holy Spirit

Accept one another

Just as Christ accepted you

in order to bring praise to God

I myself am sure it’s true

my brothers and sisters

that you yourselves are full of goodness

filled with knowledge 

and competent to instruct one another

May the God of hope 

Fill you with all joy and peace 

As you trust in him

So that you may overflow 

With hope 

By the power of the Holy Spirit

“Those who were not told about him will see,

 and those who have not heard will understand.”

That the God of hope 

Will fill you with all joy and peace 

As you trust in him

So that you may overflow 

With hope 

By the power of the Holy Spirit

the God of hope 

Will fill you with all joy and peace 

as you trust in him

so that you may overflow 

with hope 

by the power of the Holy Spirit

[music fades]

The God of peace be with you all. 

Amen.

Romans 15:13

New International Version

15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2 Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up. 3 For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”[a] 4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. 8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews[b] on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed 9 and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:

“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;

    I will sing the praises of your name.”[c]

10 Again, it says,

“Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”[d]

11 And again,

“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;

    let all the peoples extol him.”[e]

12 And again, Isaiah says,

“The Root of Jesse will spring up,

    one who will arise to rule over the nations;

    in him the Gentiles will hope.”[f]

13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Paul the Minister to the Gentiles

14 I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with knowledge and competent to instruct one another. 15 Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me 16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

17 Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God. 18 I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done— 19 by the power of signs and wonders, through the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ. 20 It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation. 21 Rather, as it is written:

“Those who were not told about him will see,

    and those who have not heard will understand.”[g]

22 This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.

Paul’s Plan to Visit Rome

23 But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to visit you, 24 I plan to do so when I go to Spain. I hope to see you while passing through and to have you assist me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem in the service of the Lord’s people there. 26 For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem. 27 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings. 28 So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this contribution, I will go to Spain and visit you on the way. 29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.

30 I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me. 31 Pray that I may be kept safe from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord’s people there, 32 so that I may come to you with joy, by God’s will, and in your company be refreshed. 33 The God of peace be with you all. Amen.

If you lack wisdom

Ask God who gives to all 

without finding fault

And when you ask

it will be given to you

If you believe it's true

The one who doubts is like a wave 

Tossed by the sea, 

They should not expect 

To get anything

But consider it pure joy 

brothers and sisters (Joy)

whenever you face your trials 

because you know  (Joy)

the testing of your faith 

produces perseverance  (Joy)

And it must finish its work 

so that you may be complete (Joy)

and lacking nothing

(Joy)

Believers in humble circumstances 

Should take pride in their high position. 

But the rich should take pride 

in their humiliation

Yeah they will pass away 

like a wildflower 

But consider it pure joy 

brothers and sisters (Joy)

whenever you face your trials 

because you know  (Joy)

the testing of your faith 

produces perseverance  (Joy)

And it must finish its work 

so that you may be complete (Joy)

and lacking nothing

(Joy)

Every good and perfect gift 

is from above, 

coming down from the Father of heavenly lights

He doesn’t change like shifting shadows

He gave us birth 

through the word of truth

that we might be His firstfruits 

But consider it pure joy 

brothers and sisters (Joy)

whenever you face your trials 

because you know  (Joy)

the testing of your faith 

produces perseverance  (Joy)

And it must finish its work 

so that you may be complete (Joy)

and lacking nothing

(Joy)

But consider it pure joy 

brothers and sisters (Joy)

whenever you face your trials 

because you know  (Joy)

the testing of your faith 

produces perseverance  (Joy)

And it must finish its work 

so that you may be complete (Joy)

James 1

1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,

To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations:

Greetings.

Trials and Temptations

2Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

9Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. 10But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower. 11For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.

12Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

13When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

16Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. 17Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 18He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.

Listening and Doing

19My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. 21Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

22Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

26Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

**[Soft instrumental intro]*

Sometimes I’m filled with doubt

There are things in this life I want

Or maybe I don’t, it's hard to say

And I am unsure of your ways

But I’ll lift my eyes to the hills

You are where my help comes from 

You are faithful through it all, 

You are loving and I am in awe

Every trial is apart of your plan 

You are working in ways I can’t understand

Still your blessings are raining down on me

Your peace and your Spirit still fill me

I thank you Jesus, you are wonderful

Oh my God, through it all, you are faithful

My wheels start to spin

And the panic sets in 

Do I have all that I need

What will I choose to believe

So I lift my eyes to the hills

You are where my help comes from 

You are faithful through it all, 

You are loving and I am in awe

Every trial is apart of your plan 

You are working in ways I can’t understand

Still your blessings are raining down on me

Your peace and your Spirit still fill me

I thank you Jesus, you are wonderful

Oh my God, through it all, you are faithful

[Bridge]

You created the heavens and earth 

and you can do as you please, 

and still you choose to love me. 

Oh I thank you God, and it’s true

[softly]

You are faithful through it all, 

You are loving and I am in awe

Every trial is apart of your plan 

You are working in ways I can’t understand

[louder booming finale]

Still your blessings are raining down on me

Your peace and your Spirit still fill me

I thank you Jesus, you are wonderful

Oh my God, through it all, you are faithful

[softly]

Oh it's true, through it all, you are faithful

[softly spoken prayer like]

I lift up my eyes to the hills

You are where my help comes from

This song was derived from a Bible verse and an entry in my journal from 2020 where I confessed my fears to God and surrendered to His will because I know above all else, He is loving and faithful.

Psalm 121

My Help Comes from the Lord

A Song ofAscents.

1I lift up my eyes to the hills.

From where does my help come?

2 My help comes from the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.

3He will not let your foot be moved;

he who keeps you will not slumber.

4Behold, he who keeps Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

5The Lord is your keeper;

the Lord is your shade on your right hand.

6 The sun shall not strike you by day,

nor the moon by night.

7The Lord will keep you from all evil;

he will keep your life.

8The Lord will keep

your going out and your coming in

from this time forth and forevermore.
