Today's cross: Made from mud from Lake Junaluska, North Carolina. The Alkulas visited here in 2007 after they left the Navy.
John Wesley
MY brethren belov’d, your
calling ye see;
In Jesus approv’d, no goodness have we,
No riches or merit, no wisdom or might,
But all things inherit thro’ Jesus’s right.
Yet not many wise his summons obey,
And great ones despise so vulgar a way;
And strong ones will never their helplessness own,
Or stoop to find favour through mercy alone.
To baffle the wise, and
noble, and strong,
He bade us arise, an impotent throng;
Poor ignorant wretches, we gladly embrace
A Prophet who teaches salvation by grace.
The things that were not, his mercy bids live,
His mercy unbought we freely receive;
His gracious compassion we thankfully prove,
And all our salvation ascribe to his love.
