as a community – 2 – v3

as a community
one body, in praise
not as two congregations
one people together
coming to worship You.

as a community
under the bright sky.
the canopy, the dome,
the tent of the meeting
You created at the beginning.

as a community
worshipping You, oh Lord,
glad together as one people
all of Your children here
gathered, to build up the Kingdom.

Habakkuk 3:17-19 (NIV)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Habakkuk+3%3A17-19&version=NIV
17 
Though the fig tree does not bud
    and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
    and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
    and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
    I will be joyful in God my Savior.
19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
    he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
    he enables me to tread on the heights.”
and sermon “There Is Hope In Community”
by Pastor Ruth Foss
&
Habakkuk 3:17-19 (rewritten by me, one version)
17 Though the mills may be shuttered
and the forests are empty,
though the fields do not provide
their bounty, their harvest,
though the young are departing
for greener pastures,
18 yet I rejoice in my God
I will be joyful in Christ my Savior.
19 The Creator of the universe is my rock
I am like the deer, its hooves
steady on the Mountain.

pain overwhelming – v2


pain overwhelming
so dry in this season
like the dry bones
in the valley, the desert
not feeling presence
You walking beside me
wanting to believe
but lost in this season
in the darkness, my own desert
wandering in the wilderness
so in need of healing.

Giving Demons Power - v2


little by little, day by day,
words spoken harshly
small pains, heartaches
tamped down, held
not release, not shared
held close to the vest
secret hurt, scar tissue
added to the rest

giving demons power
darkness not light
little by little, day by day
new pains to much
lashing out, anguish
speaking to cut another
those who love us
our sisters, our brothers

giving demons power
losing ourselves
