DEVOTIONAL INSIGHTS & REFLECTIONS

Sons of God - December 31

Happy New Year's Eve! I got a late start today.

The following song is reverberating in my heart. I learned it from nuns while attending a catechism summer day camp in Monroe, Ohio... oh so long ago.

Refrain:
Sons of God: Hear His Holy word,
Gather around the table of the Lord
Eat His Body, drink His Blood
And we'll sing a song of love
Allelu, allelu, allelu, alleluia.

Brothers, sister we are one,
And our life has just begun,
In the spirit we are young,
We can live forever.

Shout together to the Lord
Who has promised our reward,
Happiness a hundred fold
And we'll live forever.

Jesus gave a new command:
That we love our fellow man,
Till we reach the promised land
Where we'll live forever.

If we want to live with Him,
We must also die with Him,
Die to selfishness and sin
And we'll live forever.

Make the world a unity,
Make all men one family,
Till we meet The Trinity
And we'll live forever.

With the church we celebrate,
Jesus coming we await,
So we'll make a holiday,
So we'll live forever.
