Poems
fr. Iler 

               Love and Worship

Flesh can’t glory in His presence – I Cor. 1:29

Worship God what ere betide – Job 1:20

Self must stop in seeking glory –  John 8:50

Glory He will not divide –  Isaiah 48:11

All shall praise, confess and laud Him

Every knee to Him shall bow

High above all else exalted

Is the Lord of Glory now.

The One who saved us we adore

In love, would worship, Lord of all

Of glory honor thanks give more

In worship we would prostrate fall

           Humbleness (Wisemen)

Scribes and Chief Priests quoted scripture

But to worship none bowed down

Shepherds glorified and praise Him

Wise men worshipped and fell down.

          Friendship and love

Out of rank admonish wisely

Soothe the ones of little soul

Help the weak and be longsuffering

Prayer unceasing should control.

Rejoice with them that do rejoice

And weep with them that shed a tear

Forsake not gathering unto Him

Exhort much more as day draws near.

                      Comfort

Coming for you, this He said

Watch and pray lift up the head

Comforts us on every side

He is LORD what e’re betide.

                    Busybodies

Busybodies, busy meddling – I Tim. 5:13

Forcing men what they should do – 3John 1:10

Using threats if no submission – Eph. 6:9

Why as God do they pursue? – Job 19:22

            Assurance of Salvation

A Traveler crossed a frozen stream

In trembling fear one day.

Later,  a teamster drove across

And whistled all the way.

Great faith and little faith alike

Were granted safe convoy

But one had pangs of needless fear,

The other all the Joy!
