Wanting to understand God
to shrink him down to our size
removing wonder, awe
a righteous fear of God
Apply a human scale to the infinite
making us the image of God
as if we are God’s equals
not creations of his hands

The Spirit will guide you into all truth
All that God has to say
to speak to us in love
more than Christ shared with us
much more to give to us
The Spirit will guide you
all of us into all truth
God’s revealing of his blessing
his love for the whole earth

It is good that I go

his time not for me
for you to understand
God’s journey for us

Damned under grace
Offering them all
God’s gift of his grace
the Messiah right before them
offering us love
they who should have seen
no eyes for the truth

denying his life

Not innocent children
No excuse, infancy
a lack of knowledge of the law
the prophets’ words written
all that was fulfilled
they who had heard
who should have believed
a willful ignorance
lost for all time
sin within them
leading others away
failing to believe

a lack of knowledge of the law
the prophets’ words written
all that was fulfilled
they who had heard
who should have believed
a willful ignorance
lost for all time
sin within them
leading others away
failing to believe

His teaching divine
The should have seen the signs
the words should have been clear
the parables, the stories
what he said to them
they should have seen
they should have believed
He is the Christ
God standing before them
ready to save our lives
his teachings divine
they should have known
they should have been leaders
leading us to him
that we too would believe
the leaders saving God’s people
if they would have seen
because they should have known the Christ
and from the Father he was sent
come to earth to save us
how could they have missed this
how could they have missed the signs
guilty of sin, no longer infants
failing to believe

They hated me without reason
They hated Christ, with a passion
bringing their world down on him
persecuted, attaching
wanting him crucified
God before them,
yet they refused to believe
they should have known the signs
the fulfillment of God’s holy word
alive right before them
yet they refused to believe

They were guilty of sin
They who led the people
who read the law, the prophets
who studied God’s words
guilty of sin, of failing
to listen to him
of failing to believe
they should have know
Christ right here before them
fulfilling all that was written
the Word made flesh here with us
they should have led us to Him

Killing the seed of the Way
before the Damascus Road
the bright light of epiphany
revelation that day
where would we be now
if Saul hadn’t been called
Killing the seed of the Way
the nascent church, arising
sanctioned, for the glory of God
misguided though they were
thinking they were killing
the disciples in God’s name

Practicing Patience
Deep calm within me
wash over my spirit
Holy Spirit take over
call me deep within
Following the Christ
who forgave us on the cross
knowing my sin
let go of the other
all who set me off
Release what holds us
let go of control
practicing patience ever
our hope within the Lord

Deny yourself and take up your cross
the call to each believer
to get off our seat
to deny ourselves
our sinful past
to get off our seat
to take up our cross
to go and follow Jesus
none of us special
yet all called for a purpose
God alone can transform us
into useful vessels
holy, for God’s purpose
out in the world

Letting go of control

the bubble within growing
as the spirit fills within
a tool for God’s kingdom

The easel, the pencil,
an eraser for our God
humble, as a servant
an instrument of God
use me my Lord
the draftsman at the table
may I be but paper
may I be the sharpener
a light to illuminate your work
your revealing of the kingdom
the design of your creation
may I be a vessel
fill me, pour me
put me to your work
