Give out of your abundance
that which you have been given
that which you have received
Give of what you have receive
not for you but for others
we are given gifts in this life
to be used to help our neighbors

With the Abundance I have received
I should give, I should share,
I should shout, Hosanna
with the abundance I have received
so should I give, freely, richly
from the depth of my heart
as Christ gave for us
giving as I have received
blessed to bless others in this life
here for a purpose
to be Christ’s light in the world

Wealth is not a blessing, wealth is a test
Wealth is not a blessing
more things of this earth
accumulating, storing
our treasure, our reward
All of this a curse
an indictment against us
to be used as it is given
blessed to be a blessing
Wealth is a test
the things of this earth
they can be a blessing
or they can be a curse
a curse if we hold them
a blessing if we give
as richly as we have been given
so others may simply live

Knowing the rest of the prayer
Starting in anguish
in words of abandonment
feeling separated from God
wondering where he is
But Christ not despairing
not truly feeling forsaken
for his act was one of faith
a turning to God
Knowing the rest of the words
of the ancient prayer, the psalm,
murmuring the words
even as he hung dying
The words unfolding
in the way of his death
yet an act of a faith
a turning unto God.

“25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.”

The Judge sentencing himself
To die, to die on the cross
the debt to be paid
or we will be lost
yet the judge sentencing himself
his son must die
to take on our sin
that we may fly
up from the grave
on eagle’s wings
but only if the King
paying our way

When Christ felt forsaken on the cross
When Christ felt forsaken on the cross
hanging on the cross
not cursing, not denying
praying to our God
the ancient words, the psalm
unfolding around him
despair turning to comfort
in the arms of our God
knowing the rest of the words
God’s coming to our aid
that is why he prayed.

The Judge taking the punishment
Unlike any earthly court
the defendant found guilty
sentenced to death
to die on the cross
violating the commands
the laws over them
yet they do not suffer
they do not die
Judge taking the punishment
for you and I,
going to the cross
an atoning sacrifice
the holy made sin
that we may live

Just Capitalizing a Word
The Pharisees, the Sanhedrin
their firm grip on power
wanting to name that Christ
had claimed to be
“king of the Jews”
Pilate’s response,
his bold assertion
the speaking of truth
the word, “King”, on Christ’s sign
not something less than that
Pilate proclaiming, speaking
truth to their power
naming their crime
the Messiah sent to the cross
they were killing the Son of God

Christ’s sign spoke Truth
Pilate was not willing
to deny the Christ
to put their claimed offense
on the cross on which he was placed
They wanted to state he claimed to be
the king of the Jews;
but Pilate knew, somehow,
that Christ was the King of the Jews

Waving our palms
Standing on the roadside
the ancient city, Jerusalem
excitement building
Christ coming into view
waving my palm branches
joining Christ’s procession
into David’s city
my cloak at his feet
shouts of Hosanna
joy to see my Savior, my king
thoughts of the yoke of repression
soon to be set free

To make sense of her pain
Something of a calling
Christ’s joining of them together
John now the son to May
to offer her comfort
to make sense of her pain
sharing the Christ with her
the force of his teaching
why he had to die
how he is the Son of God
How he gives us new life.

submissive unto God

I have the power to crucify you
Pilate confronting Jesus
seeking to get him to answer
challenging him with his words
the power to free him
or to have him crucified
to send him to the cross
yet Christ disclaiming this power
his to give up
He is God immortal
Lord of heaven and earth

We were joined at the cross
In a real sense, like Mary and John
So for Ruth and myself
we were joined at the foot of the cross
by the same saving grace of Jesus
In our study together
God’s revealing of His Word
his plan for our lives together
one family, one body, one love
Maybe His words were a bit different,
“Ruth, here is your brother, your husband;
Ray, here is your sister, your wife;”
but the words were just as powerful
here in our walk, this life
A blessing in the way of joining
the physical and spiritual aspects of our lives
together one family
in the love of Christ,
grace poured out on the cross

The kingdom come near
Denied by the leaders,
the priests in the line of Aaron
those who were to shepherd the flock
leading to oblivion
The words of John at the Jordan
of Christ at the beginning
the kingdom come near
God here with us
the echo of these words before Caesar
their words of indictment
“we have no king but Caesar;
now Crucify the Christ!”

No earthly king
The leaders, the priests
denying Christ
claiming loyalty to Caesar
tears in the courts of God
the treachery of these leaders
forgetting the love of God
his provision for this people
the time when there was no earthly king
when God alone was their sovereign

Before Saul
Disclaiming God
allegiance to Caesar alone
no other king
forgetting God’s thorn
his place in the lives of this people
The leaders blaspheming
sinning against God
forgetting the time before Saul
the Lord God the only King
He was their all in all

Violating Commandments
Seeking to kill the Christ
the Son of the Living God
denying the Kingship of God
their faithfulness a sham
Standing outside the palace
the canard to stay ritually clean
yet they were violating Commandments.
They would not be clean.

A Curse against God
Denying the kingship of God
disclaiming the divinity of Christ
standing outside the palace
not wanting to be unclean
yet their words all that was needed
making themselves unclean
a curse against God
making Caesar their king,
mired in the earth
Christ’s blood upon their hands
disclaiming the divinity of Christ
standing outside the palace
not wanting to be unclean
yet their words all that was needed
making themselves unclean
a curse against God
making Caesar their king,
mired in the earth
Christ’s blood upon their hands
