TheFinalWord Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 What are some favorite poems, song lyrics, and quotes that inspire your faith? Sacred text would be okay, but it might be interesting to see various quotes from authors that inspire you as well "In the rush and noise of life, as you have intervals, step home within yourselves and be still. Wait upon God, and feel His good presence; this will carry you evenly through your day's business."-- William Penn "Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither." -- CS Lewis “The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.” -- Soren Kierkergaaard 2 Link to post Share on other sites
mercy Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I love that song! ^^^ Have I posted this before? Sorry. I just love it. Song lyrics to At The Foot Of The Cross (Ashes To Beauty): At the foot of the cross Where grace and suffering meet You have shown me Your love Through the judgment You received And You've won my heart Yes You've won my heart Now I can Trade these ashes in for beauty And wear forgiveness like a crown Coming to kiss the feet of mercy I lay every burden down At the foot of the cross At the foot of the cross Where I am made complete You have given me life Through the death You bore for me I'm laying every burden down I'm laying every burden down ----- Bring all of yourself to His door: bring only a part and you've brought nothing at all. - Hakim Sanai 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Eve Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Anyway People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God; It was never between you and them anyway. Take care, Eve x 3 Link to post Share on other sites
