Stand Up and Walk – haiku

Raising him with Christ
dancing into the temple
power in his name

Stand Up and Walk

Healed in an instant
with power he commanded
and his brother walked
they were all witnesses
awesome God

More than Silver, More than Gold

More than silver, more than gold
more precious than worldly gifts
healing was what he could offer
all that he could give

Using the name of the risen Christ
a balm for his body and soul
making him well, making him whole,
by the name of the Lord
far more than silver or gold

What I have I give you

A beggar all his life
crippled and unclean
sitting, begging at the Beautiful Gate
unable to enter in

Peter having pity,
compassion for this man
more to offer him
than the request silver or gold

“What I have I give you”, said Peter,
invoking the name of the Lord
Arise and walk
he was made whole

Changed by this gift
in the name of the Christ
the one who came down to earth
the lame was made to walk
