Not for our victory
nothing we have done
but worship of Jesus
glorifying Him
exalting the Father
in the joy of the Son
His resurrection
the victory won
Celebrate Jesus
not our own saving
born to sing His praise
His victory, His glory

series of poems around the
reading on July 14 (see below) on the idea that our salvation isn’t about us
being saved, not really. It gives a strong indictment of the way we keep using
I statements to talk about salvation – me, my, I. Our salvation is more about
what we do with that joy, that healing, that spark of God that is now within
us. How do we live differently? How do we tell others? We are saved for a
purpose, to move from being seeds to fruit, to vessels that are emptied and
poured. How do we witness authentically, without it just being about us? That
too was something I was conscious of as I was drafting my sermon of 7/1/2012,
“What Jesus Means to Me”
