One by One – v3

Looking into our hearts,

meticulous and probing;

Threshing all the wheat

looking for who is worthy.

No longer searching

for a collected people;

Gathering in one by one

those who are faithful.

All the world the threshing floor

of God the Creator, the Judge;

Searching out the worthy grain

to be gathered in.

all that we have accomplished you have done for us – v3

Nothing by my own hand

in truth I am but the glove;

You are the one who lifted me up

You who fills my cup.

All that I am

all that I will ever be;

All the good I have done

only because of Thee.

Lord I bow down

humbly before You;

All that we have accomplished

You have done for us.

quote attributed to Corrie ten Bloom,

“I have a glove here in my hand.  The glove cannot do anything by itself, but when my hand is in it, it can do many things.  True, it is not the glove, but my hand in the glove that acts.  We are gloves.  It is the Holy Spirit in us who is the hand, who does the job.  We have to make room for the hand so that every finger is filled.”

A Murmur of Commission – v8

A foretaste of the promise

of the rising of a people

the children of Abraham

all around the world

bearing fruit for the kingdom

From Jacob, from Israel

the people of one faith

the children of Abraham

taking root in the world

bearing holy fruit

A living out of the promise

of the rising of a people

all over the world

bearing fruit that is worthy

bearing fruit for the kingdom

A Shelter from the Storm – v3

More than protection

in God, in Jesus

guided by the Spirit

a shelter from the storm

on His holy mountain

a feast forevermore

Death defeated

through God, through sacrifice,

through Jesus’ resurrection,

the poor shall exalt

praises in heaven

on His holy mountain

Looking into our hearts
meticulous and probing
threshing all the wheat
looking for who is worthy

No longer searching
for a collected people
gathering in one by one
those who are faithful

All the world the threshing floor
of God the creator
searching out the worthy grain
for his one garner

all that we have accomplished you have done for us

Nothing by my own hand
I am but the glove
you are the one who lifted me up
you who fill my cup

All that I am
all that I will ever be
all the good I have done
only because of thee

Lord I bow down
humbly before you
all that we have accomplished
you have done for us

quote attributed to Corrie ten Bloom,
“I have a glove here in my hand. The glove cannot do anything by itself, but when my hand is in it, it can do many things. True, it is not the glove, but my hand in the glove that acts. We are gloves. It is the Holy Spirit in us who is the hand, who does the job. We have to make room for the hand so that every finger is filled.”

A Shelter from the Storm

More than protection
a shelter from the storm
on his holy mountain
a feast forevermore

Death defeated
the poor shall exalt
praises to heaven
on his holy mount
