• Eden

  It’s broken broken broken

  Shards and pieces 

  Restoration seems

  Hopeless

  The signal weak

  The connection lost

  Sitting in the empty

  We are all empty

  So hungry

  There is the fragile one

  Struggling with identity

  The reckless one 

  Unable to unmask and be real

  The angry one

  Burdened by loss 

  The wounded one

  Broken broken broken

  What if healing could come?

  What if it could renew and fill the void?

  What if restoration comes from broken?

  The broken bread

  The broken body

  The curtain torn in two

  The relationship reinstated 

  Praise God for Eden in our own time

• Only real thing

  One wrong twist

  Separation of tissue

  In just the right place

  One tiny microbe

  One chaotic cell

  We are incredibly fragile

  I know it sounds trite 

  But every day

  Every breath

  Every heartbeat

  Is a miracle

  All that seems so real

  Heavy, permanent 

  Dependable 

  Whosh 

  Gone in a moment

  These fleshly eyes

  Just can’t see

  The one thing

  The only thing

  That is actually real

  We get a whiff, a glimpse

  A peek 

  But the only thing

  That isn’t fragile

  That can’t be broken

  Can’t be understood 

  This side of heaven

  So how do we live that

  How do we live that out

  Daily, being attached

  But not dependant

  Being present

  But not focused

  Knowing it will all fade

  Knowing it won’t last

  That it is not ours

  To govern or protect

  It’s just not ours at all

  Period

  Not even that breath

  Not even that heartbeat

  God, teach us how to love deeply

  With a light touch

  Teach us how to give our all

  To the only real thing

• You can’t both do dishes

  Either He is 

  In control

  Or He isn’t

  Either He is sovereign 

  And Lord of life

  Or He can’t be

  Either He loves you

  In a more profound way

  Than you can ever fathom

  Or He doesn’t

  There is no kinda here

  There is no part-time savior

  There is no I healed you that time

  But this time I won’t

  There is only

  I work all things for good

  And I love you

  And I know it’s impossible

  To understand 

  So have faith instead

  Let Me step in

  Let Me give you relief

• Go from fear to fearfully

  Don’t be afraid

  Let the inconvenient 

  Lap your toes 

  Come close

  Let go into it

  Fear not

  Lean in

  You can struggle

  For perfect, for comfort

  Or you can embrace

  His perfect

  Mixed with the trials

  You will

  Walk on water

  Taste the goodness

  Stop living like paupers 

  We are royalty 

  Sons and daughters

  Of the Most High

• Roar

  A cacophony of sound

  Every tick, thump

  Shriek, wump

  Honk, bang, yell

  Up and down

  Up and down

  The volume of life

  Goes up and down

  Herein lies

  The distraction

  The over stimulation

  But when the lion of Judah

  Roars into your life

  Like the sound of the surf

  On a beach

  Everything else

  Becomes padded 

  Neutralized

  Hushed

  Hush world, hush

  Roar Lord, roar!

• Every day sabbath

  Somewhere we dropped

  Ordinary

  You shall do

  No ordinary work

  On the sabbath

  But with the temple sacrifices

  A thing of days gone by

  What is left?

  Sitting idle

  Jesus did

  No ordinary work

  On the sabbath

  He did 

  Extraordinary work

  Healing, giving, teaching

  We know he kept the law

  But new testament writers

  Didn’t reveal much to us

  Of Jesus going to the temple

  For sacrifice

  They did reveal

  Jesus going to the temple though

  To be in his father’s house

  To defend it, to turn the tables over

  To heal 

  This is

  The extraordinary work

  We are to do the same

  Every day sabbath

• Not enough

  I’m coming after You

  I’m running after You

  Touching that robe

  It’s not enough

  I’m seeking

  Full embrace

  Complete revelation

  Moses was glowing

  I want to be 

  A burning bush

  I want to be

  Set ablaze

  It’s not enough

  Five minute devotional

  It’s not enough

  Heighten my awareness

  Of You

  What You’re up to

  Where I should be going

  (Following) 

  Who I should be loving

  (All) 

  It’s not enough

  And I’m not stopping

• One by One

  Don’t let life

  Stop you from life

  Dig in deep

  Go back to basics

  To the very beginning

  If needed

  Build community

  When Adam 

  Was placed in the garden

  Though alone

  Community began

  God said “name them”

  One by one, know 

  All around you

  Not through introduction

  But through you creating

  Significance

  Name them

  Don’t give distractions

  A second thought

  Take it captive 

  Crucify it

  Adam only needed one

  One taunt

  One what if

  In following that trail

  He lost his community

  Don’t be afraid

  To start over if needed

  But be prepared

  It takes work

  Community doesn’t

  Fall into your lap

  Delight, as you are able

  As God gives you the ability

  In the work of your hands

  And name them again

  In prayer

  One by one

  Present them to God

  Ask His blessing

  Beseech His grace

  Implore His mercy

• Transfiguration

  When He came to them

  In His resurrection body

  The scars were there

  And

  Peace was there

  Often we pray

  For help

  For healing

  But under it all

  It’s relief we seek

  We pray for Him to 

  Skip to the end

  Wipe away every tear

  We envision heaven on earth

  Perhaps

  It’s time to envision earth in heaven

  Maybe we will still have scars too

  Maybe we will remember 

  Every pain, every trial

  Every pain, every trial

  Now diminished in the revelation

  Of who we are are

  Because of who he is

  So maybe nothing changes

  Except there are no more tears

  Transfiguration of our hearts

• Open

  Open your hands

  Walk along

  This is not your life to build

  Open your hands 

  Walk along

  Abide with Me still

  Vapor and dust

  To sustain 

  Vapor and dust

  The cycle of the elements 

  Sings on

  This is not your life to build

  Lift your eyes

  Open your hands
