The posture of our hearts

Our internal picture
Images, words in scripture,
Our Abba Father, God...
 
The Fatherhood of God
Our grounding posture
Seeing God as Father
As Creator of all...
 
God’s love like a father,
We are his beloved children
God wants the best for us
Because He loves us that much...
 
The Fatherhood of God
Our belief in our being
Filling us with faith
Transforming our lives...

Spiritual Fabric – v2

Our bodies coated, covered,

with spiritual fabric;

dressed in our finest

when we put on Christ

Joining our lives

with our brother, our Savior;

with Him adopted into

the body of Christ

Spiritual fabric

draped upon us

a yoke of air

a burden light

Sharing our Father

the one triune God

living within us

that we may share Him

with the world

If we only knew – v2

If we only knew
the consequence of our paths
the choices we make
through the sands of time
If we only knew
generations hence
the fallout, the reward
of our present tense
which path
would we choose
if we only knew
what lies ahead

Two Paths

many paths actually
each decision we make
yet at the heart
two paths we may choose
hate and love
which will you take
the path of the world
of wallowing in self
or the path of God
faithful above all else
we are each called today
each decision in this life
which will you choose
the darkness or the light
