Hear, oh #Israel, and be careful to obey

Listen to the words of Moses,
To the commandments of your God,
Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey,
All that He has told you,
All that God has commanded,
To receive your inheritance,
To abide in this Promised Land…
 
Listen, oh, Israel, to these ancient words,
To the promise of a land of milk and honey,
For an earthly kingdom, a place,
That you did not create, but a land
Promised to your ancestors,
If you listen, if you are careful to obey,
All that God has commanded…

Another #Shabbat with too many missing

Another week ending, pausing,
stopping the daily struggle, this madness,
touching their history, their story,
Opening the Torah, remembering God.
 
Dusk falling, fallen, gathering into worship,
remembering creation, the hand of God,
but too many missing, a peace shattered,
Like the night of Kristallnacht, horror raging.
 
Too many killed, injured, too many stolen, taken,
by an enemy, terror, coming to their homeland,
a place of peace, of sanctuary, yet no rest for the People
Another Shabbat with too many missing, shattered.
 
But a resolve palpable, even in stopping,
in pondering, remembering all that God provides,
a moment, a day, of rest from their labors,
Knowing there is so much yet to be done…

Staring at My Sin – v2

Under the Law,
rules laid down
staring at my sin
so much of our lives;
where I have failed
to follow each letter
each verse of the Law

Only by grace
the sacrifice of the Son
the love of our Father, God;
walking with the Spirit
indwelling within me
only then able to see
the face of God

We must Love our neighbors

We have lost our way
nothing that joins us
only divisions, factions,
them versus us

We must Love our neighbor
all are God’s children
the second command of God
after the command to
love God completely

How we should treat
our fellow man
to love our neighbors
as we love ourselves

We are no better
than any other
though we seek
to be better somehow
by judging our neighbor

How can we divide
separating people
all of us neighbors
under the skin

We all are fallen
we all have the same stain
all of us sin, turn away,
We all deserved death
but Christ climbed our cross

We must Love our neighbor
as God commands us
ignoring the differences
finding common ground

Made Righteous

Even in my life
the anchor of my sin
holding me to the earth

Only by the grace
the love of God
able to walk in faith

Made righteous
courageous, because of the Lord
his sacrifice, made clean

The stain of my sin
washing from my soul
pure as the driven snow

Walking with my savior
all of my days
the spirit guiding me home
