We are what our thoughts have made us,
Our thoughts form the directions we take;
If we think it, then time makes it thus,
For the years are our thoughts re-takes.

Take care about what you are thinking,
Our thoughts can gouge furrows so deep;
We plant the thoughts that root unrelenting,
Some die – yes, but many we keep!

Do you think you are forgiving?
Are you freed by grace to share?
Do you look to help anyone living?
Have you found your cross to bear?

Do you think you are deserving?
Are you driven by coveting and greed?
Do you think others should be serving,
Your wants, your desires, your needs?

Do you think this life is demanding?
Are you blessed with trust and faith?
Do you think G*d should be commanding,
Us to serve others in this life’s race?

We are what our thoughts have made us,
So take care to remember G*d’s love;
If You think the cross is a promise,
Then G*d forms your thoughts of love!
