we thank you for the saints
we raise their names aloud
we thank you Lord
for the saints you have given
for those who have touched our lives
we thank you Lord for them
for the saints of our walk
given by you to us
a witness to your love

the dance of the colors – v2
the trinity in color
not separate personas
thinking of them in the spectrum
blending in pigments
blue of the Father,
the Creator, God,
from the waters, the deep
all came to be
by his word, his action
red of the Savior
taking on our flesh
bleeding and dying
rising to the heights
that we may live
yellow of the Spirit
God’s light shining through
guiding, leading
walking with us
on our journey to You
each dancing with the other
in shades and hues,
by the rhythm, the purpose,
the love that is You

the mission matters – v2
our focus on wealth
on the brick and mortar
on the trappings of faith
not its true substance
the mission matters
not the pews, the altar
we are like the scribes,
the Pharisees
holding onto false power
we risk everything
comfortable, complacent
all about the pretense
the mouthing of our faith
we stand with them
those who were criticized
focused on the trappings of faith
the world alone inside

while we are holding on the money
the trappings of piety
stewards only of wealth
not of the mission
the building could crumble
the rocks off their foundation;
only the work matters
sharing the love of our God

acting on that belief
trusting in God completely

God’s gift
God’s gift coming
courage to walk boldly
into an unknown future
standing together
in the arms of God
God’s gift alive
in that bright future
a legacy, a line
a royal hope forever
from the shoot of that trust
through the seed of Jesse
God’s gift forever
in the seed of Jesus
life everlasting
our hope forever
in the love of God

happy in our mess
our gardens needing tending
our souls a mess
but be happy in our journey
our struggles, our tests
like the wheat and tares
all planted together
growing, dying
some places bright
others dark, forbidding
a beautiful mess
our journey, our souls
a garden to tend
to water with the word
to feed for the harvest
a bounty for the Lord

Do our feelings cast ripples – v2
Do our feelings cast ripples
out into the world
our thoughts create cyclones
to the ends of the earth
the change that we are seeing
are we the cause of the panic
the combined emotion
are we the chaos
does our anger, our fear, manifest
is there a physical reaction
does the planet response
are we the chaos
Do our feelings cast ripples
the world responding
our thoughts the storm clouds
to the ends of the earth

Do our emotions have power – v2
what are the effects
the ripples emitted
our aura, our feelings
the life in our living
Do our emotions have power
emitted, flowing
does the world react
is this part of the warming
what are the effects
the ripples expanding
our spirits extending
into the world
Do our emotions have power
erupting, growing
does the earth respond
is this part of the warming

If we can create chaos – v2
If we can create chaos
by our feelings, our actions
our thoughts given voice;
we stir the world
loose the dogs of war
to the ends of the earth
If we can create chaos
by our thoughts, our actions
a maelstrom in life;
we can make peace
to stanch the bleeding
to bring calm to the earth
