II. Selections
Psalm 34:14
Depart from evil, and do good;
seek peace, and pursue it.
Jeremiah 15:19a-b
Therefore thus says the LORD:
If you turn back, I will take you back,
and you shall stand before me.
If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless,
you shall serve as my mouth.
Philippians 3:21
[ The Lord Jesus Christ] will transform the body of our humiliation that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power that also enables him to make all things subject to himself.
John 12:24
" ...Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. ... "
III. Meditation: Turn us
Turn us from evil to do good;
to seek peace, and to pursue it.
Turn us back, and take us back,
that we may stand before you.
Turn the words we speak for you
from worthless into precious.
Transform our weak mortal bodies
to conform to your glorious body.
Dying to our old ways,
turn us into fruit bearers.
