death, burial and resurrection

death on the cross

wearing our stain

the mark of sin

burial, to the dead,

sealed in the cold tomb

resurrection, rising,

from the waters of chaos, sleep,

living ever, risen

all Jesus, mercy

nothing of us, our works,

our baptism, grace,

washed in the Spirit of love.

saved by mercy

saved by mercy

by forgiveness

by the waters of grace

cleansed for a purpose

by the Spirit

to go and do our part

sharing Christ

the Good News

God’s message of love

saved by mercy

by forgiveness

by the waters of grace.

stripped naked

stripped naked, exposed

the skin of the flesh

my old life bared

when I put on new flesh

the skin of Jesus

the hope of holiness;

made righteous only

by His precious blood.

God has met us where we are

We are given new life
a new creation within us
able stand in the storms
to walk with our God

God has met us where we are
moments of epiphany, life
renewed in his loving arms
able to walk in the light

Filled with the love of God
walking where Jesus would lead
changed because of the Spirit of God
living if we will believe
