Making Our Tents – v6

Out in the world,
in our work, in our living,
witnessing now, to them,
to all those we meet…
 
While making our tents,
preaching the Word,
sharing the love of Jesus,
until all have heard…
 
Starting with our neighbors
then out into the world,
in our work, our lives,
our living, day to day…
 
Faithful, committed,
to our Master’s teaching,
common people sharing,
God’s love for all of us…
 
Witnessing fully,
in our work, our living,
sharing eternity,
with all we do…
 
While making our tents,
preaching the Word,
sharing the love of Jesus,
until all have heard…

Ministry in our work

Our toil, our labor,
An act of worship,
Ministry in our work,
No matter how humble…
 
Not merely earning money,
To do other things,
Ministry in our work,
No matter how humble…
 
Sharing our witness,
Loving as we are called to,
Ministry in our work,
No matter how humble…
 
On the path, this moment,
Sharing our testimony,
Ministry in our work,
No matter how humble…

Humble, like our Master

We are all Servants in the kingdom,
Children of the living God, siblings,
following the example of Jesus,
becoming humble, like our Master,
taking up the towel, the cross…
 
Following the example of our Master,
becoming a servant to our sisters, our brothers,
for none of us are greater than anyone else,
kneeling before our neighbors, the others,
washing each other’s feet…

God knelt before the unworthy

God became humble, the Servant,
Christ lowered himself to the floor,
God knelt before the unworthy,
The betrayer, the denier, those too afraid,
Washing the feet of the disciples, of each of us,
Washing us with water, with His blood,
With the grace of God manifest, evident,
Christ washed us with God’s love…

Washing the feet of the disciples – 2 – v2

Washing the feet of the disciples,
taking His clothes off, His robe,
kneeling before each one of them,
washing them with water, His blood,
washing them with God’s love…
 
The Master become their Servant,
washing the feet of the disciples,
all of them unworthy, disobedient,
all of them would betray Him,
would deny Him, they would run away…
 
Setting an example for them,
not exalting himself on the earth,
God on the ground, their servant,
humbly kneeling before each one,
Washing the feet of the disciples…

Do Not Weep – v3

“Do not weep, do not cry,”

Christ’s compassion

for the grieving mother;

No one calling Him to come

God is merciful, caring,

Christ acted out of love,

healing her broken heart.

“Do not weep, do not cry,”

He gently said to her

touching the bier,

her son rising

through our risen Lord;

Her son was reborn, restored

by Christ’s loving touch.

Two Brothers – v2

Two brothers

each of them lost

in their own way,

estranged from the Father

carrying their own sin.

Sin heavy upon them

though different in kind

unable to see the love of the Father

wanting the best for each of them

in His own way.

One running away,

to a different land

demanding his treasure

lost on this earth

following the flesh.

The older brother

close by but blind,

jealous of the Prodigal,

unable to see the Father

His arms open wide.

Words are dangerous – v3

Cavalier, careless, unthinking

shot from our mouths

the sword of our tongues

Seeking gain, advantage

at the expense of our neighbors

A constant battle, raging,

our approach to discourse

Words are dangerous, a rapier,

when grounded in the world

the stuff of the earth, the flesh;

We are called to a different way

of love from our musings

to offer Christ to all

a light to the whole earth

Let Love inform our language

let Jesus guide our words

our struggles for justice

may we hear the words of old

Calling us to be God’s servants

to offer love to all, the other,

all the people on the earth

The guiding of our Savior

lived out in His journey

of offering love, forgiveness,

even when we were persecuting

when we denied our Maker

when we pierced our Brother’s hands

lifting Him on the tree

Christ forgiving, words uplifting,

at the moment of His anguish

abandoned and dying

that we would be free

Bearing witness

the power of that example

a light to the nations

hope for the whole world

“changing the wind”

http://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2007/12/changing-wind.html

Based on the comments of Jim Wallis on

Speaking of Faith, November 29, 2007

http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/programs/jimwallis/index.shtml

He was talking about whether to change politicians

or change the wind, to change the public opinion

which guides politics. He used the example

of President Johnson’s statement to the

Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. that it would

take 5 years for a voting rights bill but

it actually took 5 months to pass the Voting Rights Act,

after the March in Selma.

Rescuing Me – v2

Our God through His grace

through the sacrifice of Jesus

rescuing me, raising me

from sin, from myself

that I may live in Him

a servant, a witness

Truly dependent on God

unable to save myself

bound to the Law

broken free by Christ

in Him I am alive

in Him I have life

Walk as He Walked – v4

Live in Him;

walk as He walked.

Believe and be healed;

spread His message, His love.

Live as He lived;

follow the Master’s calling.

Do the Father’s will;

share His holy message.

Walk as He walked,

obedient in each moment;

choosing the way of the cross

in Him there is life eternal.

Look Up to the Skies – v2

Listen, see, look

The majesty of God

look up to the skies

joy awaits you

A heavenly chorus

handiwork of the Creator

His glory, His precision, His power

proclaimed across the heavens

All of His creation singing

His praise, His love

Look up to the skies

hear their voices
