Gregory Colbert - Ashes and Snow

"They live as if they will never die,

And die as though they had never lived."

 

 

 

 

That I may meditate on your promises

 

 

 

 

Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth

 

 

 

Meditate on it day and night,

so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.

 

 

 

Then you will be prosperous and successful.

 

 

 

 

Therefore each of you must put off falsehood
and speak truthfully to his neighbor,
for we are all members of one body.
"In your anger do not sin":

 

 

 

 

Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
and do not give the devil a foothold.
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,
with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

 

 

 

 

 

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love.

 

 

 

 

Commit your way to the LORD;

 

 

 

 

Trust in him and he will do this.

 

 

 

 

Instead, be kind to each other,

 

 

 

 

Tenderhearted, forgiving one another

 

 

 

 

Just as God through Christ has forgiven you

 

 

 

 

You have searched me and you know me

 

 

 

You know when I sit and when I rise;

 

 

 

 

You perceive my thoughts from afar

 

 

 

 

You discern my going out and my lying down;

 

 

 

 

You are familiar with all my ways

 

 

 

Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely

 

 

 

 

Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth;

 

 

 

 

Meditate on it day and night
