Claiming a page from His history,
His family’s genealogy,
fulfilling ancient prophecy
claiming His sovereignty...
 
The triumphal entrance
of our Lord, to reign, in victory,
riding on a humble donkey,
our humble Servant King...
 
Son of Solomon, Son of David,
Son of Man, Son of God,
entering Jerusalem as a King
to shouts of “Hosanna!”...
 
A week like no other
fulfilling divine purpose
come to save us, to heal,
come to be our sacrifice...
 
Riding on a humble donkey
our King of life, of glory,
come to shouts of “Hosanna!”...
before the cries, “Crucify!”...

Lift the veil
raise the curtain
the scales from my eyes...
Redeem me, Lord...
Heal my vision...
Give me sight...
 
Show me the truth
show me wisdom
in ancient scripture...
Reveal Yourself
in the Word
in my heart...
 
Heal me, Lord,
remove my blindness
Renew my faith...
Give me vision
enable me to see
Your abounding grace...
 
Remove the scales,
my blindness from me...
Redeem my sight
the truth within me
Lead me to You,
to Your grace...

the #eyes of #Hosea #Poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #Matthew20 #blindness #sight #healing #mercy #Emmaus #Messiah #scripture #eyes #truth #flesh #world

a knowing sorrow in that moment
seeing so clearly his pain
the grief of expectation
heartbreak of relief
after years of bitter anguish
a healing of the breach...
 
a truth in revelation,
knowing the pain of those years
written in the eyes of Hosea
so stark, so plain the epiphany
the sorrow of that moment,
remembered to this day...

Christ’s words to them
revealing the reality of Jesus
alive after resurrection
in the opening of Your Word -
Your holy scripture -
In the breaking of the bread,
in Christ’s words of prayer...
 
Eyes of Emmaus
of the disciples changing
knitting what Christ had said
An epiphany at their dinner table -
Their hearts ablaze in love
in the gift of revelation
on the road home...

Whatever is good
in Your perfect will...
into Your hands
I place my trust
I give my life over
Into Your hands, oh, God...
 
I surrender my demands...
I confess I am broken...
I abandon my cries for justice...

I trust Your judgment -
Whatever You believe is right,
Only Your love, oh, God...
 
Whatever is good in Your sight,
whatever is fair in Your judgment,

Oh, Father God Alimighty,

Whatever is good
in Your perfect will
into Your hands
I place my trust
I give my life over
Into Your hands, oh, God...
 
I surrender my demands
I confess I am broken
my cries for justice
into Your hands of mercy
Whatever You believe is right,
Only Your love, oh, God...

one #wage – v2 #Poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #Matthew18 #denarius #wages #sin #death #grace #salvation #unmerited #gift #sacrifice #mercy

We toil in the fields, the vineyards,
seeking to grow the Kingdom...
Yet we earn one wage, death
through our journey, our days...
Christ bought us salvation,
our reward in heaven...
Unearned, without merit,
Mercy, God’s gift of grace...
 
We are not saved by our work,
for we deserve damnation...
We are not paid our eternal wages,
the death we all deserve...
We receive the gift of grace
through the sacrifice of Jesus...
Unearned, without merit,
Mercy, God’s gift of grace...

by that same measure - v2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #John7 #John8 #judgment #forgiveness #mercy #grace #adultry #law

Ancient words of judgment
the Law of Moses...
Stones falling around her...
None standing righteous
all burdened with sin...
 
By the same measure
His words, written in the dust...
God is fully aware...
Their sins present, living,
filling their minds...
 
Focused on their own sin...
They left her with Jesus...
a sinner uncondemned
called to be righteous,
to turn from her past...
 
So too we stand condemned
as children of Adam
and by the sins we carry
But we do not have to fear
the judgment of others...
Jesus' hand sweeps the dust...

Reshape me on Your wheel – v5

Take up my broken clay, Lord,
Gather my pieces, my brokenness,
hold them, all of me, in Your hands,
Soften me, make me new, pliable,
Reshape me on Your wheel, mold me,
my Creator, my Potter, with Your touch,
Make me a living vessel for Your glory…
 
Take up my broken clay, Lord,
Mold me for Your purpose, all of me,
to Your perfect will, oh my Father,
Make me whole, useful, a vessel,
to do Your sacred work, my calling,
Give me a heart to obey, to follow,
to go where Your Spirit leads…

Reshape me on Your wheel – v2

Take my broken clay,
Reshape me on Your wheel,
my Creator, the Potter,
Mold me for Your purpose,
by Your perfect will,
Make me whole, useful,
to do Your sacred work,
Give me a heart to follow,
where Your Spirit leads…

Refine me, oh God – v2

Refine me, oh God,
burn away my imperfections.
Lead me in the paths of righteousness,
save me from my sin, from the pit…
 
Refine me, oh God,
as a smith refines silver.
Burn away all that is not You,
in my body, in my spirit …
 
Refine me, oh God,
in the fire, through persevering.
Show me how to live my life,
for Your purpose, for Your Glory…

Hear my cry for mercy – v2

Lord, I am broken, hurting,
my enemies surround me,
I see Your hand moving,
I long to feel Your presence,
to sense You by my side,
to know You are with me today…
 
Hear my cry for mercy
as I call to you for help,
God, I turn to You for protection,
for Your hand to be upon me
in my darkness, my struggle,
in the courses of the night…
 
Do not drag me down,
to Sheol, to the pit,
raise me with the righteous,
guide my trembling feet
I will praise You, oh God,
save me, my Maker, my Lord….
