I am not alone – v2

I am not alone

for You are with me, oh God;

You offer me comfort,

protection in the storm.

I am not alone

the love of God is with me;

God’s Spirit speaks

to my path, my life.

I am not alone

for I have been lifted;

I have been raised from the dead

by the blood of my Lord, Jesus.

I am not alone

for You are with me, oh God;

You offer me comfort,

protection in the storm.

not by human proofs v2

reminded of Thomas

failing to believe Christ was risen

not there in the upper room

needing proof, to touch Him

before he would believe

our situation different

two thousand years later

to believe is by faith

in Christ, in the invisible,

not by human proofs

we cannot touch Him

as Thomas did a week later

we must believe by faith

the fulfillment of God’s promise

to rise from the dead

Quickly – v8

Quickly, at once, now

motion repeating;

words of power, urgent

without any delay;

urgency in this message

the soon coming of Christ

His work important

no time to waste;

power in the now, this moment,

now handed down to us;

the work of the ages

sharing His gift of grace

Words explosive, seemingly as if

today were the only day to share, to do,

to offer them God’s grace;

needing to share, to shout

needing to hurry, to run

that all would know Christ,

the Son of God today

The incredible gift, grace

an urgent message, present

for the whole world;

fulfillment of scripture

leave everything, to go, to follow

to come to Christ

Quickly, at once, go,

now, this moment;

motion repeating

without any delay, going;

the message of Jesus

coming now, coming today

mercy must define us – v2

there can be no other way

for others are watching;

mercy must define us

in our thoughts, our actions

we must walk humbly

we must do justice;

mercy must define us

in our words, our deeds

God has called us

Jesus has shown us;

the Spirit guides us

from day to day

we must be certain

in our words, our actions;

mercy must define us

our every breath

their stones fell – v2

struck speechless, dumb,

the righteous silent;

knowing the consequences,

knowing their own sin

their stones fell,

dropped from their fingers;

falling to the ground,

kicking up dust

a reminder of our fate

our mortality, humanity;

in the words of Jesus

our need to be merciful

not judging our neighbors

in our words, our thoughts;

knowing the damage,

knowing the costs
