broken for my sin – v3

looking down at my hands

the blood-stained bread;

we see the brokenness of Christ

ripped apart, broken on the cross.

held there with the nails

the spikes of my rebellion

my disobedience to God;

my blood poured out,

his body broken for my sin

by what I have done.

I am broken in this life

separated from God;

I am healed by the blood of Christ

poured at the cross.

in our wagon – v3

when we cry out to God

tired on the journey

losing joy in the process

feeling like it is too much,

carrying too great a load.

in truth it is ourselves,

seeking to help others,

the weight in our wagon

in not trusting in God

we become tired, sore.

the yoke becoming too heavy

carrying rocks, stones that are not

ours to carry, not our gifts

which God has given us

for the tasks on our true path

when we accept the requests

bearing others’ burdens

their call from God,

we become tired ourselves,

carrying stones that are not ours to carry

the yoke is actually light

that which God gives us

to carry in this life,

using our gifts for the kingdom

for the glory of God

a taking away – v2

a taking away

of the clutter, the world

anything in the way

between us and God

on our Lenten journey.

a taking away

an adding on

adding the discipline

of spending time

in Your word

a giving back,

a taking away,

our time, our attention

setting God as a priority

in the Lenten journey.

a drawing closer

in this time of journey

turning with Christ

to Jerusalem,

to the Cross.

worship springing – v4

worship springing

joy overflowing

from the well of our bodies

our spirits, our beings

bursting forth in song

worship springing

joy overflowing

Christ walking with us

God’s Spirit within

love coming beside us

worship springing

joy overflowing

up from our bodies;

God’s Spirit within

going out into the world

change on the inside

change on the inside

our prayer within Lent

the season, the journey

with Jesus, to the cross

change on the inside

to walk more closely

with our brother, the Christ.
