As close as skin – v3

God is as close as skin

as the hairs upon us

as close as the beating of our hearts

each beat, each murmur.

The Spirit, our Savior

the love of our lives

is right here with us

our first love is beside us;

God is ever with us on the way.

God is as close as breath

as skin, as feeling,

the flames of Pentecost

the Spirit abiding

ever walking with us.

God is with us always

through all of our joys and struggles

God is as close as a whisper

as the birth of creation.

He answered my cries – v2

In the murky today

in the stillness of the darkness

lost in this world

yet feeling a calling

a sense that this is the right path

that I have heard God’s voice

God answering my cries

telling me it is alright

that this is part of my call

to simply write

This Soul Cried Out – v2

As He is so want to do,

the lectionary was blended

sharing a deeper message,

in the mixing of the words

the healing of spirits,

a moment of epiphany

known to very few,

needing to be proclaimed, shared

He spoke through the words on my page

words of Psalms, placed by her small hands, shared

in the hands of the beggar

blind Bartimaeus, the messenger

of more wisdom

this morning.

At the end of a lesson, a children’s sermon

meaning of the psalmist’s pen,

merged with images,

handed out to eager hands, then left

placed in the basket, the cup of the beggar

“This Soul Cried Out”, the words of that one verse

how right, how appropriate, how subtle

that must be the page, out of the seventeen screens

the page that should land, purposely, in his lap

this morning, before the telling of his story

in the adult sermon

his healing, by his faith, the response from

the Word Made Flesh,

He cried out to the Son of David

And was healed of the rest

Just as the psalmist knew

So long ago.

I sought, He answered

I was made whole

life-giving work

imparting us with grace
love within us, alive
life-giving work
by the hand of God
lifting us from the dust
our light on the lampstands
shining for the world
our lives a living witness
God in the word
