THE FEAR OF THE LORD
(A Holy Communion Poem)
The fear of the LORD is something we can cultivate;
Let us be drawn to read the Scriptures and meditate.
The Spirit of the LORD will be there to give us knowledge;
To have Him involved in our life is truly a privilege.
The fear of the Lord is a virtue that has many associations;
It does not stand alone by itself in any consideration.
There are other virtues that must be cultivated along the way;
We must seek the Lord’s grace and mercy each and every day.
The Spirit of God will rest upon those who seek to be faithful;
He will teach and enlighten so that we may be truly fruitful.
He will give knowledge and wisdom even as we seek;
We need not be afraid even if we feel we are weak.
He will give His counsel and His glorious might;
He will help us to do that which is good and right.
The fear of the Lord is a crowning glory given;
It is a special blessing from the Lord in heaven.
