Let all the world

Let all the world be nothing,
with its vanities and strife,
our hearts not be too trusting
in this mortal, earthly life.

Let the pleasures of mankind
be held in great disdain,
for we should not seek to find
some solace in its gain.

But let our eyes be focused
on Christ, the King of Kings.
Let all the world be nothing,
and let God be all things.

Based on a quote..

Let all the world be nothing, and let God be all things.

Samuel Rutherford,
Letters from prison

Forgive me Lord

Forgive me Lord for sins long past, and those for which I haven't asked. Forgive me when I neglect to pray; instead, desiring my own way...
