Bread of Witness – v2

Bread of witness,
water of sacrifice
here in the well
in the living water

The bread cast
sent on the waters
sent downstream
to wash upon our bodies

Our spirits, our lives
bread to feed us, no thirst
to offer us salvation
through the bread and wine

To give us hope
a chance to be redeemed
living ever, washed
in the living water

nothing impure – v4

Nothing unclean in creation
all from the hand of God;
No one is unworthy
We are saved by the blood of the Lamb.

Nothing impure truly
all is holy in God’s sight;
No one is cut off from grace in Christ
We are all worthy of God’s love.

who am I that I could hinder God – v4 – b – v3

Arrogant clay
hesitant pilgrim;
Slowly  turning
to believe

Who am I
to grieve the Spirit;
Who am I
to hinder God

Needing to follow
to remain faithful;
Offering God’s grace
to one and all

Sowing seeds
as we are gifted;
Leaving the harvest
unto God

the mountains shall praise him – v3

the earth itself,
joining in singing;
all creatures, creation,
sing praises to heaven

from the earth far below
the mountains shall praise Him;
the depths, the oceans
all living creatures

the forces of change
the wind and the earthquakes;
all of creation sings
to our God and King.

the stars that shine – v3

The stars that shine
the sun that burns brightly;
The cool moon in the night sky
all the angel chorus.

All the creatures of heaven
all the life above us;
Singing praise to the Lord
we join the chorus.

One song of worship
all of creation, the heavens;
Joining in one voice
one song to the heavens.

One song we sing, together raising
to the courts of salvation;
Singing the one song
to our Creator, our Go.

and the willing clay shall be
ever giving, open, in submission
molded into the Potter's will
the desires of God’s heart

each one different
shaped for His purpose
the willing clay, joyfully

the will of the Potter
the pressure, the guiding

The Dance of the Clay – v3

in the birthing, creation,
something magical
a miracle really;
Life manifesting
coming into being
from dust, from nothing
suddenly life appearing

the Potter moving,
an image unfolding
already in His mind;
His hands, His body
drawing the clay
pulling the clay
from the inert earth

life in the dance
the twirling, spinning upward
creation happening;
our lives created,
evolving, growing
living, alive
in the dance of the clay
