hearing God’s voice – v2

We hear God’s voice

speaking a word of warning

but not heeding the message

not protecting himself

the dark clouds coming

to consume his flesh

We hear God’s voice

speaking a warning

when he turned to the message

changing his path, his way,

saving the prophet’s life

because he was protected by God

our broken clay can hold Jesus

within the flesh of our bodies

abiding in the vine

our broken clay

can hold God’s promise

our broken clay can hold Jesus

within our hearts

we hold the Spirit

within our broken clay

our broken can hold light,

Christ’s living presence;

we may be broken

but we can shine that light

what would we share – v2

Before friends, family, those who know us
or those who might know
at least, at most, a piece of our story
if we were asked to witness
to share our story, out truth, the light,
the joy of redemption, of healing,
what part of the darkness, our history,
would we offer, would we share,
even within the sanctuary, in safety,
how much of the truth, unfiltered,
painful and raw, hidden,
which of the layers, the flesh, the tissue,
of the masks we wear,
how much of the truth, exposed,
would we speak aloud there
