not of one heart

not of one heart
a people torn asunder
believing only in part
sacred words of scripture.

not of one heart
families torn, divided
clustered in camps
a battle raging ‘round them.

changed by God’s love

we are changed by God’s love
His hand on our journey;
we are washed by the blood
of our risen Lord Jesus.

we are changed by God’s love
the whisper of the Spirit;
we abide in the vine
known by the heart of Jesus.

getting out of the boat – v4

Like the first disciples
Peter getting out of the boat
choosing to walk on water
having faith, trust
to go where she was called
to be the Father’s daughter.

Feeling called by God
like the first disciples
to climb out of the boat
to stand on the water
to be more than a sheep
to be one of God’s shepherds.
