The dross burned away
made radiant
refined in these fires
the days of my trials
Walking with you
yoked to my Savior
not turning from you
guided by your love
Thanks in this journey
even the struggles
drawing closer ever to you
Refined in these fires
washing in your love
the spirit within me
on wings of the dove

Tears of the People
More than metaphorical
The tyrant firing on the people
rubber bullets, ammunition
tear gas on his people
Coming from prayers
protesting against his repression
freedom to come to them
when he is removed from power
For now the madman brutalizes
shooting his own people
all they want is their rights
the universal rights to freedom

Coming Out of Prayers
Wondering, half a world away
what they must be going through
coming out of prayers
into the square
into the street
the chaos of the madman
Wanting their freedom
willing to die
casting off repression
starting to fly
Standing against the tyrant
the yoke of oppression
yearning to breathe freedom
through their whole nation
the chains stripped away
March 4, 2011
written while waiting in court this morning,
before I knew about the massacre in Zawiya

Firing on the Innocents
Firing on the innocents
gunning down the protesters
coming from the time of prayers
into the Square of the Martyrs
The carnage of the madman
the tyrant refusing to relent
their blood on his hands
all throughout this land
The world is watching
the day of judgment to come
none of this enough
for the people yearning for freedom
Needing him removed now
before more people die
willing to fire on the innocents

Lead us Lord

carrying your love
your living word
Show us how

Waking up on Friday
In the cities of Libya
the people stirring
from fitful slumber
tension, anxiety
their country gripped in strife
Waking up on Friday
on the day dedicated to prayer
preparing to go to their mosques
wondering what this day will offer
will they finally breathe the air
So long in stasis
under the yoke of his repression
bowing to the whims of the madman
not fully aware of his corruption
the steps that he would take
Learning only in part
the enormity of his atrocities
killing the innocents, his people
ignoring their cries for freedom
in a craven choke-hold on power

Fighting for Their Freedom
We must stand with them
not be duped by the madman
convinced to label them as rebels
when they are in the opposition
Not a mutiny, a coup of the military
this is an organic uprising
the people of the nation
fighting for their freedom
We must stand with them
praying for their freedom
that the madman would be removed
that he would give up his power
Now is the time
maybe on this day of prayer dawning
that this day they would be free
after so many years of repression

not be duped by the madman
convinced to label them as rebels
when they are in the opposition
Not a mutiny, a coup of the military
this is an organic uprising
the people of the nation
fighting for their freedom
We must stand with them
praying for their freedom
that the madman would be removed
that he would give up his power
Now is the time
maybe on this day of prayer dawning
that this day they would be free
after so many years of repression
March 3, 2011/ March 4, 2011 in the Libyan timezones
the coming of a Friday day of prayers, which have been the days
of the largest protests in many of the countries in revolt

Prayers for Tripoli
All of us needing
to join them in prayer
all of the people
praying near the squares
No matter our faiths
believing in God
needing to pause
and pray to our Lord
The people who have been dying
those hidden in fear
afraid to come out to grieve
to breathe free air
A climax coming
the crescendo of chaos
the madman clinging
to the illusion of power
Prayers for Tripoli
for all of Libya
on the day dawning for prayers
let us pray for their freedom
That this would be the day
that the despot would step down
that the blood of the martyrs
would not course on the ground

When the mosques empty
What will happen
this Friday in that land
when the mosques empty
the people done with their prayers
will the madman come
rain bullets down on them
will they cry for freedom
rising up in the square
What will happen across Libya
in Fashloom, Tajoora, Bin Ashoor
in the rest of Tripoli
will they finally rise up
will the people be free
Will the coward shoot them
deny them their rights
will the world stand by in silence
as the day turns red with blood
this Friday in that land
when the mosques empty
the people done with their prayers
will the madman come
rain bullets down on them

In the coming of Friday
In the coming of Friday
prayers for the whole region
especially for Libya
that the blood of the martyrs
would not run in the streets
that the tyrants, the madman
would leave the stage
that the tribes, the people
would turn a new page
no more of Gaddafi
however you spell his name
his green book, his ranting
which makes him appear insane
hope for this nation
rising up in freedom
that the people would have peace
after so many years of repression
In the coming of Friday
hope new again
prayers for the people
coming out into free air

In the Rhythm of Grace
Living water lifting me
carrying me up
in the rhythm of grace
filling my cup
My life renewed
my feet becoming light
dancing with my Savior
singing in the night
Feeling his touch
leading me in the dance
the journey of my purpose
going into the land
The words of the scripture
of the spirit speaking within
giving voice to his mercies

making us new again

dedicating our lives

We fall humble
down to our knees
offering up our life
offered unto thee
Not knowing how to say
what little we know
offering our lives to you
tell us where to go
We are shocked
amazed by your grace
offering your life for us
the warmth of your embrace
Dying while we are yet sinners
yet rising to set us free
feeling you with us on the journey
when we are on our knees
Humble as a lamb
faithful as Abraham
oh let me be your servant

We offer all we have
we offer the clay of our lives
we offer up these gifts to you
use us oh Lord, oh Christ
Send up to the captives
give us a message to share
hope for the restless
that they would find peace in you
Give us courage to venture
out into the world
spreading seeds of salvation
to the ends of the earth

our unfinishedness,
our weakness and our sorrow
our hope in your embrace
We lift up the plates
we bow in prayer
offering our gifts to you

offering her two coins
a metaphor for her true offering
we offer ourselves, our lives
turning what we have
over to your loving care
giving all of ourselves to you
humbly to the Lord
We offer up our lives
our hope only in you
our future secure in this

dying that we would live
transformed by your grace
healed of our brokenness

Foss, revolution, UN, blood, martyr, Feb17, Feb14, Jan25, faith, Feb25,
madness, light,
Fear in His Defiance
In stating false truth
in denying reality
fear in his defiance
in their deference to him
Power eroding
the nation ablaze
blood of the martyrs
kindling the flames
His madness devolving
the nation at odds
the truth of his oppression
coming into view
A nation in peril
because he remains in power
