1 Peter:1-5

We followers of Christ should.

Do all things as he would.

Who saved us with a sacrifice.

In a world that was not to nice.

It’s your faith that will show.

Lead the world to rejoice and know.

How holy our God is.

Our lives should show this.

That you can come to him.

The living stone you trust in.

While others may ignore.

For you it’s heavens open door.

For then by doing good.

Gods goodness can be understood.

As by His wounds you are healed.

In your life truth is revealed.

Not from outward riches.

That men the world over bewitches.

But by doing good things

How peace of God it brings.

Even as you do all this.

You will realise you will not miss.

The rewards that will come.

When Gods will on earth is done.

In problems with one another.

Just like Christ you could suffer.

Be encouraged to be strong.

It is to our God we do belong.

Mth. 14:22-36

When Jesus goes away.

Seems not such a good day.

Suddenly he is right here.

Miraculously he did appear.

Amazed can I come, I call out.

Come, but you must not doubt.

But then l see the waves.

He reaches out and saves

He says you should not fear.

You know l’m always here.

Amazed now we carry on.

Seemed to everyone he did belong.

Knowingly they too appealed.

That they also might be healed.

Ps. 119:25-32

Lord when l feel so low.

May your word then show.

Even when may look odd.

The goodness of my God.

That I in faith understand.

Against troubles make a stand.

Prov. 17:11-15

Are they evil are they good?

May Gods ways be understood?
