New wineskins 2 - v2

New skin rising, growing,
filling the cut, the gap,
more pliable than the older,
a strain where they meet…
 
Scripture with new meaning, to me
a revelation, an epiphany, awareness,
understanding more clearly,
the words come alive…
 
New wineskins growing,
a metamorphosis, emergent,
holding new truths, wisdom,
where the old and new meet…
 
Casting off the old, the broken,
from a chrysalis emerging,
new wineskins, new bodies,
filled with God’s love…
 
Alive in the process,
growing in this season,
stretching myself, striving,
to be a vessel for God...

new wineskins, pliable clay

We are broken vessels,
shards of clay held together,
holding living waters,
flames of the Spirit, everlasting light,
gathered into the hands of God...
 
Our broken pieces are released,
placed by our Potter, 
back onto His wheel,
our clay becoming wineskins
of the living waters of life...
 
We are fired in adversity,
we are made whole in love,
we are emptied to be filled,
to be poured out, a blessing,
a free-will offering of love...

stretching old skin – v2

new wine, the Spirit
alive within us, rising,
stretching our old skin
our bodies, changing flesh…
 
new wine, the Spirit
growing, moving,
joy filling our bodies,
to be offered, to be shared…
 
new wine, the Spirit,
the gospel message alive,
to be poured out as a blessing,
a new hope for the world…

new wineskins
of life, of the Spirit
filled with love
moving, growing…
 
life came to us
in the gospel of Jesus
we are filled with the Spirit
the promise of God…
 
our bodies changing,
stretching, growing,
old flesh being cast off,
new skin alive…
 
new wineskins
our bodies, our spirits,
filed with life, of the Spirit
filled with love…

New skin rising, growing,
filling the cut, the gap,
more pliable than the other,
a strain where they meet…
 
Scripture with new meaning,
a revelation, an epiphany,
understanding more clearly,
the words come to life…
 
New wineskins growing,
a metamorphosis, emergent,
holding new truths, wisdom,
where the old and new meet…
 
Casting off the old, the broken,
from a chrysalis emerging,
new wineskins, new bodies,
filled with God’s love…

New wine skins - 2

New skin rising, growing,
filling the cut, the gap,
more pliable than the other,
a strain where they meet…
 
Scripture with new meaning,
a revelation, an epiphany,
understanding more clearly,
the words come to life…
 
New wineskins growing,
a metamorphosis, emergent,
holding new truths, wisdom,
where the old and new meet…
 
Casting off the old, the broken,
from a chrysalis emerging,
new wineskins, new bodies,
filled with God’s love…

------------------- 

New wineskins - v2

new wineskins
of life, of the Spirit
filled with love
moving, growing…
 
life came to us
in the gospel of Jesus
we are filled with the Spirit
the promise of God…
 
our bodies changing,
stretching, growing,
old flesh being cast off,
new skin alive…
 
new wineskins
our bodies, our spirits,
filed with life, of the Spirit
filled with love…

#Angels in the planking – v2

Angels in the planking
in the boards beneath us
frozen in the deck
this space in the garden.
 
Angels in the planking
sharing this place, resting,
bound to this earth
to this moment, this season.
 
Angels in the planking
to be found, noticed,
an image of the other
spirits here with us.

are we ready to follow – v3

are we ready to follow,

to leave all to follow,

will we accept Jesus

will He become the center

of our whole lives;

will we open our arms

to the call of Jesus

will we lose our past

our belongings, our comfort,

to follow Him alone?

Praise be to God – v2

Praise be to God

in each second,

each moment

with us, guiding,

on life’s journey

never leaving us

never turning away

walking here with us

Praise be to God

for the ancient stories

for the scripture he left

for us to read, to follow

with us in the Spirit

indwelling, sharing

walking with us here

on our journey below

Praise be to God

for provision, protection

for guiding each step

on our journey here

standing beside me

in each second,

each moment

seeking the best

in each breath of my life
