Aaron came with Israel’s names
On the breastplate before the Lord
He prayed for sins unknown to him
Asking for their release
Seeking their best good
Now today I’m asking for you
Lord forgive us all
You know our sins and things we’ve done
They pull us down and hurt
Release us from our fall
Life is long with trouble deep
But short on joy and peace
Today my Lord give us your peace
Fill us with your love
And make our joy sweet
Clay Corvin
Anticipation stirs my soul
Today the world is new
A quiet night refreshing
We see this day anew
Corinth gently beckons
What does it reveal?
Soon on streets that Paul walked
The Holy Spirit thrills
Countryside scenery
Breathtaking to behold
My heart beats for wisdom
Jesus is my goal
Then to ancient Mycenae
Evil was its boast
4,000 years it’s sitting
Civilization been and gone
Crossing then to Delphi
Empires came to ask
Wanting to know the future
Paying treasures for a word
Just another day in Greece
Etching in my mind
Life and joy; peace and thanks
My heart is overfull
Clay Corvin
Traveling ___at best relaxing
Covering civilizations
Minutes make up centuries
We walk in ancient footsteps
The trip an experience
A cross section of events
Overwhelming our senses
Sorting them out in a few days
Yet we will be complete
Stirring scenes to report
As we study hard
Filling in a lifetime of dreams
Foundations built on Jesus
Touchstones fill our minds
Teaching from the dawn of faith
Beckon us to come and see
To think about what we can be
He gave His life for me
God prepared the time
This thought drove Paul
So that I might be free
Ancestors pointing to me
Telling me that Jesus loves me
Preaching and teaching in the world we see
A world overcome with sin and strife
Are their lessons here?
I seek to know and be clear
His calling is right now
As difficult as it may seem
We face the very same evil
That Paul spoke against
In Christ I am free
Clay Corvin
Trust in Jesus
He is waiting on you
Trust is a choice
Jesus is true
Trust in Jesus
As opportunities dim
Claim His love
Christ will see you through
Trust in Jesus
He paid for your sin
Repent-change
You will walk with Him
Trust in Jesus
In times good and bad
This life is passing
You will not be sad
Trust in Jesus
He and the Father are one
Speak to Him daily
And you will be won
Trust in Jesus
Focus your view
See the spiritual
Jesus is helping you
Trust in Jesus
Your life counts
He will be in charge
Of all you do

Iter of Rome
Brought the soldiers home
Provided ease of access for forays out from Rome
Iter of Rome
Birthed in Satan’s home
For war and control
Filling Rome’s coffers at home
Iter of Rome
Conceived and enthroned
By man’s hard work
Emperors’ thought the idea their own
Iter of Rome
Reaching out to Greece
But used by God
Spreading the Gospel to all
Iter of Rome
Pax Romano’s own
Pushed the Gospel free
Across Europe straight to me
Clay Corvin
Horrible-agonizing
Despicable to Greeks
The cross was God’s method
To free you and me
Christ was crucified
We nailed His hands
Our sin must be handled
Jesus was God’s man
Despised by Jews
Spit upon by Greeks
The cross split His heart
Upon Calvary
Crushed by our sin
His breath quickly gone
Romans drew blood
Forgiveness Christ’s song
Three days gone
His body entombed
On Easter morning
God’s power shone thru
Risen, risen
The Lord is now here
Freedom from evil
We are very dear
Praise and honor
All glory to Him
Eternity is among us
In Christ we can live
Clay Corvin 4/6/07
Died on the cross
Rose by God’s power
Paid the price of sin
For you
Claim His gift
Let Him in
Give Him your heart
Start now and live
Holy Spirit power
Victory in every breath
Equipped to claim His goodness
Let others see Jesus in you
He has a plan
Made just for you
He gives His power
Because He loves you
You count
People count
Do unto others
He will do for you
It’s all about Jesus
Wonderful Lord
You are His blessing
Surrender your sword
Take Him your troubles
Take Him your life
Focus your actions
Trade peace for strife
Glorify Jesus
Do what He says
Your path will be joyous
Live for the Lord
Praise God
Worthy and great
Praise God
His pathways straight
Creating, loving
Cleansing, peace
Jesus is joy
At His Father’s knee
Bringing to us
That heavenly smell
Follow me
You can see my trail
Suffering to death
He died for me
So that I could be
A child set free
Free from failure
Heartache and pain
Free from evil
And its hideous pain
Jesus my Lord
You see my gain
An offered hand
You knew my pain
Lift me up
To heaven’s gate
That I might live
A life like Thee
Clay Corvin 11/19/06 on the Sea of Galilee
Saved from evil’s
Cold dead hand
Sin so rampant
Wants to murder me
Reaching up
To take Christ’s gift
Alive and Free
Victory in me
Fearing God
Who can condemn
Now I’m saved
I belong to Him
Listening with an open ear
Ego sacrificed each day
Speak Lord
Show me Your way
Focusing all on Christ
He guides me in my life
Learning how to serve
I seek to share Christ’s love
Power raining down on me
Gives me strength to be
Surrendered in all of me
Walking in His way
Jesus-Jesus-Jesus
He is all to me
Giving me His life
As I walk to paradise
Clay Corvin 3/16/07
Living well
My desire
What to do?
Of the Lord I inquire
Read MY Word
Let it grow deep
A work of grace
Your life will keep
Memorize to remember
List my laws upon your fingers
Health and peace will hold your heart
As your grow in Christ
Take my Words
Let them control
Daily urges
Seek to hold
All you do
In chains and bonds
Christ control
Will free your soul
Watch your mouth
Don’t say those words
Cover your eyes
Don’t idolize
Let Him have each thing you do
Including time with you
Restrain yourself
Or you will lose
Living well
A choice each day
Christ will lead
Each day for you
Clay Corvin
