Janice Canerdy Poet Villanelle

Call to Worship

Let's praise the Lord with all our might
together as we do His will.
May we be worthy in His sight.

As we in His great love delight
and in our own sweet closeness thrill,
Let's praise the Lord with all our might.

Let's shun the darkness, seek the light.
Of joy and peace, He’ll grant our fill.      
May we be worthy in His sight.

Let's spread the word God's ways are right
and do for others good, not ill.
Let's praise the Lord with all our might.

Let's thank the Lord each day and night;
for, though we fail, He loves us still.
May we be worthy in His sight.

Rewards for saints in Heaven bright
were purchased on Golgotha's Hill.
Let's praise the Lord with all our might.
May we be worthy in His sight.

Andrea Dietrich September 4, 2017 at 6:25 PM wow, Janice, you really did justice to that theme and you very cleverly used the villanelle form to show the parts spoken by the husband and the wife. Very well done! Janice Canerdy September 4, 2017 at 7:18 PM Thank you so much, Andrea! Janice
