Truly Open – v5

Only in Christ’s action,
in His loving example,
in the timing of God
Only by the Spirit’s moving
Are we truly ready, open
to the message of God
His calling upon our lives.

All else is clouded, murky,
bound by human understanding,
slogging through the mire
In the walk of our lives;
Needing God’s discernment
on which way to go
the way He has planned for us.

Truly Open
Luke 24:45
“Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,” (KJV)
-----------------------
Coming to Christ on the Way to the Cross

Not on the Emmaus Road
Christ coming upon the disciples
the risen Christ, Easter morning
comforting their troubled souls

We are coming to Christ
joining him, walking with our master
choosing to follow the Christ
on the way to the cross

In this season of Lent
slowing our pace,
conformed to our savior
walking with the Christ

Where he will lead us
what we will learn on the way
trusting in our savior
through the narrow gate to God
