"In Sacred Steps"

You heard the Word, now go and ponder well,

Let thoughts ascend with prayers from heart sincere.

For He is near, your ally ever dear,

And reads your soul where deepest feelings dwell.

When supplications humbly you impart,

Simple and true, they honor Him on high.

With gratitude, your thanks will reach the sky,

And shield your soul from any hardened heart.

Then take the bread and water in His name,

Remembering His birth and sacrifice,

From death to life, His teachings full of grace,

Descending low before His glorious claim.

Ascend with Him, your Savior, evermore,

To walk His path and love the light He bore.

You heard the Word now go ponder.

Reading might just make you wander.

Allow prayers to ascend on high

He knows all and he's your ally.

When you pray to God our Father.

Simple prayers to him will honor.

Convey your appreciation,

to avoid any damnation.

I take the water and the bread.

Think on Him, nothing more to dread.

From birth, death and resurrection

All he's done and taught perfection.

Descend below all things before

He could ascend to do much more.
