My Fido, he barks real loud
Chasing all the squirrels
But I love him, love him, love him
He knows I love him beyond words.
And maybe he smells like dog
But I don't think that's a prob,

'Cause every time he wags his tail
I just wanna yell,

"Let's hear it for the dog!
Let's give the dog a bone!
Let's hear it for my Fido
You know you gotta understand
He may be no Cane Corso
But he's my snuggly one-dog show
Woof, woof, woof,
Let's hear it for the dog!"

My Fido's alert and bright
He won't let strangers by.
He guards me, guards me, guards me
I know I'm always safe by his side.
Sometimes he chews my shoes
But that's the worst he'll ever do,

'Cause every time I see his eyes
I just wanna cry,

"Let's hear it for my dog!
Let's give the dog a treat!
Let's hear it for my Fido
I just gotta let you know
He ain't got no pedigree
But he's the perfect dog for me!
Woof, woof, woof,
Let's hear it for the dog!"

Air, vibrant, living,
Joyful birds sail turquoise skies
Precious sight above.


Water, flowing pure,
Otters slide down riverbanks,
Whales dance in the sea.


Caterpillars munch
Curves into tasty green leaves
Soon to be transformed


Into butterflies
Floating so delicately
Bearing rainbow wings.


Earth, safe home to all
Protect it while we can
Wild friends will thank us.

As believers, who are we?

Are we Peter, grasping Christ's true self,
Growing, maturing, with pure intentions?
Falling flat in denial under trial,
Seeking forgiveness and trying again?

Or are we Judas: devious, scheming,
Purportedly trustworthy but inwardly lost
Desiring only to grasp material wealth
Sacrificing what we should have protected
For a bag of gold?

Perhaps the essence of both
Wrestles in the heart of every believer.
Duality of sin and salvation
Threatens to destroy us each day.

Pray without ceasing. Cling to the Father.
Ask yourself: Who am I? Judas? Or Peter?
