Even the Devil believes

We must act in our faith,
in our belief in God,
for belief alone
is not pleasing to God…
 
Even the Devil believes
in the power of God,
we must act up,
we must act in our faith…
 
We must move in the world,
ignited by our belief,
that we can do mighty works,
in the service of God…
 
Even the Devil believes,
in the power of God,
our beliefs must move us,
to works, to actions,
in the service of God…

Do You Believe – 3 – v4

Do you believe

deep within you;

Does the cross

change your walk?

Are you the same

as at the beginning;

Do you believe

with all your heart?

Does your faith

move you, your feet;

Do your share God’s light

in your walk?

So Simple, So Hard – v2

All we add, what we take away,

when we set each other apart

when we do not offer love;

we miss the point, the lesson

the red-letter words of Christ;

we let the black and white, the human

get in the way of God

So simple, so hard,

to live out our faith, our calling

to love God always and

our neighbors as ourselves;

we must forgive as Christ did, on the cross,

so that none would be lost;

we must offer love always,

offering God ourselves

Claiming the Limits of God’s Love – v3

How unjust, unkind,

what arrogance, truly,

claiming to know, to discern,

to define, to presume,

to speak aloud, to throw a stone;

Claiming the limits of God’s love

that love is conditional

what was given on the cross

Love enough, unmerited,

to heal the whole world

to redeem all of us

though we are broken;

Loving us, without buts,

without exception,

loving all of us,

every one of us.

we need the struggle – v2

We need the struggles

the trials in life

for us to turn to God

to accept God’s grace

We need the journey,

to work, to grow our faith

to trust God fully

all along the way.
