freed to be a blessing


unbound from our chains
forgiven and redeemed
made right by the Lord
sent into the world

freed to be a blessing
to share the love of God
not meant to store it up;
filled to be poured.

gathered in our hands
poured out through our fingers
not to be stored
onto other souls
sands of the gifts
washing over us
poured to be a blessing
where we walk on earth

Whose we are - 2


a place of neighbors
of love for others, for the stranger
coming up beside us
in our earthly journey
Christ claims us
whose we are
redeemed for a purpose
as we walk the earth

Home - 2


to walk this way with us
with family, in love
others coming beside us
on that road, together as one
life richer, united
joining Christ at the table
welcome, called by the One
giving himself for us
blessing upon blessing
his light within us
together on this journey
from life into life

bound within our walls


we try to box in God
to cage the divine
bound within our walls
trapped within our time

we are fooling ourselves
as if we could hold the infinite
keeping God to ourselves;
salvation for mankind

we spread our hands


we spread our hands
(at least in our minds)
we join the prayer,
the praise of the Holy One
the blessings of God

we mirror their actions,
we too enter the dance
joined, together,
even when we are seated
sharing these pews

we spread our hands
(at least in our minds)
we join the prayer
murmuring with them
the blessings of God.

not eating his flesh
drinking his blood
unless we think of this
as it truly is
eating life
eternal, forever
the flesh of his body
the blood of our souls

working deep within us

Spreading through us
the bread, the blood
entering our cells, our being
throughout our whole bodies
becoming one with us

A rite of passage
committing to Christ
by eating his flesh
drinking of his blood
eating the vine
remaining in him
by taking him in;
the table is ready
will we come to eat.

stitched into our nests
the things of God
melded with us
the comfort of the vine
adding rooms, space
to those who have need,
mindful of our calling

God of the Angel Armies


O Lord Almighty,
God of the Angel Armies,
be with us this day;
come abide with us.

Reveal to us your presence
your will for our lives.
Speak to us directly;
speak to us now.

Drowning, Burning – v2


Falling under
drowning in deep waters
under the surface
dying with Jesus
Burning brightly
in flames of God’s Spirit
alight to be a candle
sharing God’s love

Cookie Commandos


Coming at us at work
as we enter or leave Wal-Mart,
these young warriors
smelling of mint, of youth
Mercenaries in the consumer wars
only pennies for their work
tempting us with memory
the high cost of the products
the cookies, their other treats
lulling us in to support them
when they get pennies for their work
