able to enter the Most Holy Place – v5

Through the curtain of His death,

through Christ’s resurrection

His rising from the dead;

Only through the gate of His life

the way of His body

are we given new life.

A life eternal with Christ

able to enter the Most Holy Place;

We are able to enter

the presence of Almighty God

coming before our Father

walking with God.

eating of the cross – v2

bread of heaven

of Christ’s sacrifice

eating of the Christ

Christ in our lives

come down from heaven

to redeem us from death

a gift of God

new each day

alive in our lives

out on the way

gathering mud – v4

gathering mud

from the ocean, waters

in an act of creation

to build up Turtle Island

to make this land

gathering stones

to heal the breach

the tear in the fabric

the wound within the circle

a gash of our making

gathering mud

pulling threads

the edges together

rebuilding the circle

of God’s infinite love.

a fire to kindle – v3

a fire to kindle

our minds, our spirits

empowered, emboldened

to be set ablaze

all of our days

ideas, conversation

the fuel to be started

nurturing hearts

in our walk

all of our days

ready, open

to be fed, to be kindled,

empowered, emboldened,

to be set ablaze

all of our days

unmoved in the storm – v2

we stand firm on Christ’s foundation

secure in God’s arms, only

listening to the Spirit

God’s path over all

unmoved in the storm

the trials, our journey

faithful to God’s plan

strength for us all

Micah 6:8 – v2

love mercy

love being gentle

slow to anger

keeping God in mind;

love being kind to others

moving softly in this life

bearing Christ richly

carrying His light

do justice

in this time

where you live;

do what is right

toward your neighbors

your kin,

do justice

that all may live

live humbly

within your own skin

following the Lord

obeying God’s commands,

heeding God’s word;

walk gently

aware of your clay,

live humbly every day
