An invitation to all


An invitation to all
to come to the table
just as we are, broken,
needing a Savior
An invitation to all
all of God’s children
all those who hunger
who thirst for truth
An invitation to all
to come to the table
just as we are broken
needing a Savior

don’t limit your vision


don’t limit your vision
to what you can see
have faith, trust,
trust and believe

there is more than this
than why you can see
have faith, trust,
trust and believe

friction and gravity


friction and gravity
forces of nature
added to the equation
putting fetters on our hopes
on the dreams within us
even before they are spoken

doubts to chain our lives
if we let them, only,
if we stop and listen
to the voices around us
if we limit our vision
to what we can yet see
