Our Enemies Are Welcome – v4

We are to be faithful
going where God sends us.
God wants relationship
with all people, with everyone.
Our enemies are welcome
into the family of God
If they turn at His calling
just like you and me.
God’s love is unending
His grace sublime
All are called to Him
away from the world.
We are happy for all who change
all who follow when He calls
We welcome them too
into the family of God.

Our Enemies Are Welcome – v2


We are to be faithful,
going where God sends us.

He wants relationship
with all people, everyone.

Our enemies are welcome
into the family, truly,
If they turn at His calling
just like you and me.

God’s love unending
His grace sublime
All called to Him
away from the world.

Happy for all who change
and who follow when He calls.

Out of the Whale

Swallowed up in the world
the way of our sin
eaten whole, alive
our lives entombed
in our will, in our sin
denying the path of God

Out of the whale
we are able to come
given a second, third chance by God
to turn from our paths
and follow his chosen way
going with him
where we are called
this we hope, we pray

Worth the effort
each one of us
until we harken to him
the one God pursuing us
all of our days
waiting, hopeful
right by our side
that we will turn to him
