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.
