It is only God within us, who is good or beautiful,
we are nothing without His life inside.
It is His love we have, His joy,
His words, are what we speak or write.

We are nothing without Him
so cannot boast, or praise ourselves,
Or be prideful by telling another any unkind
thoughts we might have felt.



We are, who we are, only by knowing
God's own words, He wrote them for us all
to love and ponder on,
His words alone will make us whole.

God is pleased when we encourage each other
and give thanks for His love in another's life,
Uplifting and blessing another,
leads us all into His light.



Whether we create, paint, sing or write,
We are here to pray for, love
and support one another,
and to think of others higher than ourselves,

For we live only, because of GOD in us.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit,
but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

Greater love has no one than this,
that he lay down his life for his friends.

The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
There is no commandment greater than these."

And let us consider how we may spur
one another on toward love and good deeds.

to be peaceable and considerate,
and to show true humility toward all men.
