As a chalice poured
as stones cast
into a still pool
our words, our deeds
all of our lives
Ripples of our actions
spreading through time
a witness to our believing
what we hold dear
revealing our hearts
the guiding of our path
unfolding, spreading
over the sands of our time

Because of his mercy
Our salvation, redeeming
not by our efforts
because of his mercy
our Creator, our God
His grace descending
embodied, living
the Spirit washing
poured out, cleansing
cleaning our whole lives
Justified through grace
by the sacrifice of Christ
heirs of the kingdom
of eternal life

We wait for the blessed hope
Our lives now guided
by God’s sound teaching
in love and grace given
by the teachings of Christ
we wait for the blessed hope
the promise of his coming
returning to this earth
to bring us home to God
for now disciples
walking here in love
filled with his teaching
our walk in this life
Mindful of his sacrifice
his body, his blood
given to redeem us
from our past, wickedness
making us whole, worthy
through the gate of the cross
bringing us to heaven
our place in paradise

Teach Them - 2
Offer them instruction

in their own living
conformed to the law
all of God’s teaching
able to share
from a firm foundation
all of God’s teaching
on how to live in this life

In God’s Appointed Season
The time right
revelation, awareness
in God’s appointed season
not the time of our choosing
God’s plan unfolding
for his holy purpose
in the turning, changing
the journey through time
all unfolding, by
God’s holy plan

No longer a slave
In turning to God
acting on our faith
our belief in the risen Lord
grace upon grace
No longer a slave
in the world
a servant of God
by our own choosing
the prisoners freed of servitude
Free to take on the yoke of our brother
serving in the fields of the kingdom
tending the garden
planting, feeding,
weeding in our time
For that bright future,
planting, tending
sowing your seeds of love
for that bright future
when the reaper comes.

No Pressure Here
A restless group of teens
Gathered around a large circle
Listening to me read the scripture
Nodding at the intent of the writer.
To get the result he wanted.
The epistle, the business letter,
The prodding and the pleading,
The guilting, shaming, the reader,
The recipient, to act.
He wasn’t coerced, pressured,
Not much!
