as we prepare
while we are waiting
even when we doubt...
we must be in the vineyard,
in the fields, on the street,
sharing the Good News,
being Jesus’ hands and feet...
 
being ready...
means planting, watering,
preparing the good soil...
 
of human hearts
not sitting at home
with our open bibles...
we are to seek
to increase God’s harvest,
to increase God’s joy,
in heaven above...

God saves the one lost sheep,
celebrate for those who come home
like each prodigal son
before He returns
 
Be prepared, be ready,

The Spirit rejoices – v2

As with the Prodigal’s father
running out to greet him
out on the road, joyful,
God is so happy,
when we come back home…
 
The Holy Spirit rejoices
when we confess our sin
recognizing our need for God
when we plead for forgiveness
for new life to begin…
 
God has already forgiven us
the stain has been removed
through the finished work of Christ;
unrepented sin is death, new pain,
as if Christ was still on the cross…
 
The Holy Spirit rejoices
ss with the Prodigal’s father,
when we come to God, returning,
humbly submitting our whole lives
transparent, humble, as a child…

wash my soul

wash my soul, my spirit,
cleanse me within, completely,
reach down from heaven and lift me,
up upon the waves, the waters,
that I might walk with You, oh God…
 
cleanse me of my sin
these chains, the stones I carry,
wash me in the precious blood
of my risen Lord and Savior,
that I might walk with You, oh God…
 
shower my soul with mercy,
with Your cleansing love,
heal me completely,
blot out my transgressions,
that I might walk with You, oh God…

is unending, infinite,
God wants to walk with us

we will find Him

we must seek God
for we will find Him
God longs to be with us
to be our God…
 
God loves us
God is our Father
God longs to walk with us
every day…
 
we must seek Him
for we will find Him
God will run to meet us
out on the road…

#poetry #God #Christ #Spirit

from deep within us

our sin deeply rooted,
welling up, this bile, this poison,
from deep within us,
our nature, our DNA…
 
hiding beneath reason,
below conscious thought,
our flesh, our primordial self,
leads us away from God…
 
but God can redeem us,
He will gather us in,
like a lost sheep He pursues us,
God will bring us home…

One #lost #sinner

One lost sinner

One lost sinner

like the lost coin, the sheep,

extravagant hope

joy in the turning

in the coming home

The Father searching

scouring the horizon

running out to meet us

one lost sinner

coming home

Joy of the Father,

of our older brother,

joining in the celebration

one lost sinner

when we come home

running out to him

running out to him

the loving father

running out to him

to the prodigal son

out on the road

not waiting for him

to get to the threshold

running out to him

out on the road

the same loving father

calling to us, wooing,

ready to meet us

out on the road

only calling to us

to turn, to begin our journey

God runs out to us

out on the road
