Remember Me
Hanging on his words
as he changed the ancient rite
the bread his body
and the cup his blood
Offering these to us
in humble sacrifice
knowing the betrayal to come
and the way of the rugged cross
Remember me, he said
echoing through time
sharing with each other
the bread and the wine
One body in him
together one nation
fed that we may serve
to share his holy message

away from the world
willing to be led
Captive to your grace
a prisoner of love
moving me into the world
my body merely your glove
A vessel of your grace
the wind in my sails
the spirit guiding me on
leading me on the floor
You are in control
I submit myself to thee
let me be your love

The Lord’s Table
We partake
get a foretaste
the feast of heaven
at the Lord’s Table
Bowing before him
at the altar rail
taking the bread the cup
remembering his sacrifice
Hearing the words
his body broken
his blood poured out
murmuring praises to him
As we eat of the supper
he shared here on earth
knowing, perhaps in part,
the power of that moment
Before the cup in the garden
his prayers to be passed by
submitting his will to God
taking the cup to his lips
Before his betrayal
before they ran away
yet he stayed faithful to God
going to the cross
Kneeling at the Lord’s Table
each doing their part
filled with the memory of him
going with Christ in our heart

Living After He Is Risen
The admonition to be silent
to not say what God said
to wait for his rising
his rising from the dead
No longer applicable
two thousand years hence
able to shout from the rooftops
just what God said
This is my child
my living son
listen to him, to what he said
God’s love come down
Teaching us how to live
to walk in this life
to act as a servant
loving all that we meet
Living after he is risen
blessed we are
to feel him with him
to see him in each star
To go into the world
carrying his light
burning as he did
whiter than white

Under the Boot of the Madman
The struggle for freedom
cloaked in his repression
the protesters taken away
abducted in the night
The people fearful
hearing mixed messages
lies and the truth
a blur in their sight
Under the boot of the madman
fighting for power
relenting not an inch
in his denying their freedoms
Mocking the world
a thumb in their eyes
dropping bombs on his people
fighter planes in the sky
Only action will break the yoke of bondage
freeing the people, the captives
from the terror of the tyrant
needing to act, to set them free
standing with the martyrs
dying in the streets

Freedom to Assemble
Happy to consider
the profound difference
the freedoms we cherish
to pray for their struggle
to shake off the yoke
the boot of their oppressor
to enjoy the freedom to assemble
to speak out for justice
to set the captives free
So much we take for granted
as we did yesterday
gathering to decide our budget
as a people together
in the power of our voices
to forge our own agreement
on what our future will be
Mindful of the difference
the world taking notice
the people of the countries
yearning to be free
We must we with them
standing against the tyrants
we must act as a nations
to help them win freedoms
the freedoms we enjoy

the profound difference
the freedoms we cherish
to pray for their struggle
to shake off the yoke
the boot of their oppressor
to enjoy the freedom to assemble
to speak out for justice
to set the captives free
So much we take for granted
as we did yesterday
gathering to decide our budget
as a people together
in the power of our voices
to forge our own agreement
on what our future will be
Mindful of the difference
the world taking notice
the people of the countries
yearning to be free
We must we with them
standing against the tyrants
we must act as a nations
to help them win freedoms
the freedoms we enjoy

Thankful for the Difference
Stopping in our worship
offering up a praise
a thanksgiving for our freedom
thankful for the difference
what we take for granted
than over so much of the earth
Able to gather as a people
to debate freely, without fear
all of us as equals
hearing other voices
to reach a consensus, a decision
coming out of our freedoms
our voices, speaking as one
So unlike the stories
we are watching on the news
thankful for our freedoms
and the price paid for them
so many sacrificing
standing against oppression
serving our nation willingly
so we may enjoy our freedoms

Buying Time
The chill of their lies
buying time to regroup
to fend off the people
to abduct them in the night
to crush the rebellion
The lies of the rulers
corrupt in their power
bombing their people
crying out for freedom
for fundamental rights
The world silent
complicit in their deception
giving a stage for their madness
to speak without consequence
spewing lies in the air
buying time to regroup

Complicit in Their Propaganda
Sitting down with evil
giving lies a stage
complicit in their propaganda
giving voice to their rage
The opiate of a perception
a mandate to cover news
but letting the leaders
command the stage, our views
A platform for their deceptions
covering the cruel facts
Their oppression of their people
willing to kill the innocents
for another day in power
Deny them this vehicle
let them rant from the balcony
the madmen, dictators
should not control the media
Independence should be the watchword
not trying to catch them in lies
in respectfully waiting for them to speak
in a place of their choosing
Cover the reality in the street
or refuse to broadcast their lies
giving lies a stage
complicit in their propaganda
giving voice to their rage
The opiate of a perception
a mandate to cover news
but letting the leaders
command the stage, our views
A platform for their deceptions
covering the cruel facts
Their oppression of their people

Giving Voice to Madness
Sitting down with evil
pure oppression
willing to crush resistance
to silence other voices
Sitting down with evil
Like Goebbels spreading lies
calling up baser instincts
to shut the people down
Calling out false demons
denying what they are doing
leading to the death of their people
in a desperate cry for power
Giving voice to madness
in a buttoned-down shirt
making brutality sounding reasonable
at such an incredible cost
Stop sitting down with tyrants
giving voice to madness
marginalize the rulers
who are willing to commit genocide
to kill their own people
