from Hosannas to the cross

from shouts of praise
to the crucifixion
from Hosannas to the cross
the Passion of our Savior

forgotten by the sheep
cursed by the naysayers
giving His life over
to save the deserters

from Hosannas to the cross

John 12:13
John 19:3

we must be the change


a prayerful reminding
binding us in worship
living out the dreams
of Martin, of our elders.

we must be the change
the hopes of our people
the change we want to see
no exceptions, no dividing walls.

everyone, anyone, welcome
part of one circle
our nation, our family,
one nation under God.

6/7/20
we need to be the change

what is worship


our response to God's goodness
deep down within us
gifts of our hearts
flowing like oil, like water
on the lives of others
out into the world;
gathering as believers
worshipping God as one
rising from our beings
from the well of our souls.

what is real faith

a rock to stand on
a certainty, a trust
believing in the unseen
deep down within us

the seed planted deeply
faith of a mustard seed
faith the move mountains
knowing what we believe
