Outside the Lectionary – v3

So many years, studying the Bible

the words of scripture -

what meaning they hold;

Reading in measured

prescribed passages

following the Lectionary – Years A, B, C

Starting at the beginning

Genesis, the foundation,

to read the whole Bible;

one month in,

what mysteries remain

as I read day by day.

Reading serially,

ordered differently,

starting at the beginning

Genesis, the patriarchs;

Heading to the end,

to the Revelations.

Outside the Lectionary

reading completely

the detailed stories;

The Laws, the Precepts,

the complete living

Word of God in my hands

So many years, studying the bible
the words of scripture
what meaning they hold
reading in measured
prescribed passages
following the lectionary
A, B, C years

Starting at the beginning
to read the whole bible
one month in,
what mysteries remain
as I read day by day

Reading serially
ordered differently
starting at the beginning
heading to the end

Outside the lectionary
reading completely
the detailed stories
the laws the complete
word of God

Christ’s Yoke

My yoke, not the Father’s
his yoke, is light, easy
paired with our savior,
the one who took on our sin
the punishment, the sacrifice
Walking with him, paired in his yoke
carried along, guided, aided in our walk
His yoke is easy, the story fulfilled
we are part of community, family
heirs with him, if we but walk as he walked
walk with him, yoked with our savior
all of our days
