Salvation

Nothing within me
His love and affinity cures my psyche
Reliant on response and reciprocation
My reaction, a God-given ability
Noble actions, a God-given ability
Never dependent upon my exaltation
His love and exertion causes my identity
A new Thing within me


Ephesians 2:8-10

Prodigal

Bruised and Beaten
Lost and defeated
My Shepherd finds me
And carries me home 

Thirsty and wandering
Fatigued and collapsing
My Shepherd finds me
And carries me home 

Sing with me my brethren!
I hear rejoicing in heaven!

Darkness with dusty
Unconscious, now crusty
My Owner cleans me
And carries me home 

Dance with me my brethren!
I hear rejoicing in heaven!

Angry I journeyed
Returning I'm empty
In my heart, unworthy
In dire need of mercy

So my Father accepts me
And welcomes me home

Blown by the Wind

The wind
It moves me
From the cycle of sparkling currents
To the hurricanes of tragic disaster 
From the gentle breeze on a scorching day
To the violent gusts that threaten my way

The Spirit
He moves me
From the routine of blessed worship
To the groans accompanied by my tears
From the comfort of recalling His ancient Word
To the wounds caused by It's reading

From the rustling of leaves to the tornado blasts
From that still small Voice to His thunderous claps

Though slowed by solace and rushed by adrenaline
My heart continues to beat
My lungs continue to breathe

Though content to remain unseen
The wind
The Spirit
They move me
