The Red

Lord I pour my life into Your Hands.
You have bought me with your blood and your tears, who else in heaven, or on earth do i have but You? Who else can carry my grief, sorrows, failures and pains? Who can love me without you as i was, as i am, and as i will be? (Fill with me with the Red.) Who can breathe life and create? Who can make the mistakes of yesterday a prelude to victory? Who can bring the mercy deeper than sea to heal? Who can carry us on the fingertips of God above the universe? Who but you can open the gate of Sheol and and bring us into the place above the sky?
The price has been paid. Your life has covered me (and has healed me). Woe to those who ignore the Sacrifice of God! Woe to those who despise the Paschal Lamb of God! Woe to the perverse who leave the Path of God! But blessed are the righteous who will shine forth like the sun in the Father's Kingdom! Lord, i pour my life into your hands; save me, fill me...

In the Name of Jesus Amen!

Hey Jude

We are standing on the edge (of a knife)...whatever.

God save us (please save us).


the sheep have gone astray from each other again as ever (and again).


We only have peace when we have you and each other.




Save us again (the wandering sheep).

The Souls of the Trees

The Light is hidden in the split wood,
in the sleeping stone.
Awaken now eyes of heaven, shine on every good.
Shine now in the valley! Shine in the souls of the trees!
Shine in the midst of the congregation! Shine now Holy Heaven,
and bring with you festival and jubilation!

The road is long, winding and hard.
Many stumble on the rocks, choke in the thorns, and many die on the path.
Few will enter the Gate and meet the end frayed, bloody and scarred!
(yet alive.) At the end, the victorious will be crowned in glorious Light, surrounded by the Splendor of the Everlasting! Virgin spirits be with us on this path! Spirit of Everlasting be our Guide and Keeper! Living One bless us with the cloud by day and the Flame by night!

The vision will be met in it's time;
Holy people will walk In the Way, the Truth and the Life.
We will march in procession praising the Almighty with shouts of Thanksgiving and praise!
Son of Man lead us in this stream; keep us in the shadow of the Almighty as walk through the sea and amidst the flame!
Power of God be revealed through the children of the God of Peace
We praise you, hear our prayers.

Hallelujah!
Amen!

The Canticle of the Creatures

Most High, all-powerful, good Lord,
all praise is yours, all glory, all honor,and all blessing.
To you, alone, Most High, do they belong.
No mortal lips are worthy to pronounce your name.
All praise be yours, my Lord,
through all you have made,
and first my lord Brother Sun, who brings the day;
and through whom you give us light.
How beautiful is he, how radiant in all his splendor;
Of you, Most High, he bears the likeness.
All Praise be yours, my Lord, through Sister Moon
and the stars; in the heavens you have made them,
bright, and precious, and fair.
All praise be yours, my Lord,
through Brothers wind and air, and fair and stormy,
all the weather's moods,
by which you cherish all that you have made.
All praise be yours, my Lord, through Sister Water,
so useful, humble, precious and pure.
All praise be yours, my Lord, through Brother Fire,
through whom you brighten up the night.
How beautiful is he, how cheerful!
Full of power and strength.
All praise be yours, my Lord, through our Sister
Mother Earth, who sustains us and governs us,
and produces various fruits with colored flowers
and herbs.
All praise be yours, my Lord,
through those who grant pardon for love of you;
through those who endure sickness and trial.
Happy are those who endure in peace,
By You, Most High, they will be crowned.
All praise be yours, my Lord, through Sister Death,
From whose embrace no mortal can escape.
Woe to those who die in mortal sin!
Happy those she finds doing your will!
The second death can do them no harm.
Praise and bless my Lord, and give him thanks
And serve him with great humility.

~Saint Francis of Assisi

Son of a Widow

I'll ring your doorbell Until you let me in And I can no longer tell Where 'you' end and 'I' begin Grape on the vine We've been alone a long time Grape on the vine Why not be crushed to make wine? Pay no attention to me Dancing with my girl- We have every intention to be Failures in this world Grape on the vine We've been alone a long time Grape on the vine Why not be crushed to make wine? Six of my closest friends Will dig up the ground All my accomplishments Gently lowered down Grape on the vine We've been alone a long time Grape on the vine Why not be crushed to make wine? (All is the same to the souls of those so much resigned) The son of the widow You raised from the dead- Where did his soul go When he died again?

~~MeWithoutYou

An excellent quote from the book Against the Wind

This quote totally rocks my world...enjoy:



"What was it that took hold of us? It was the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount, the
spirit of Jesus himself. The Sermon on the Mount spelled out for us the consequences
of Jesus’ words: “repent and believe in the gospel.” And what are the consequences?
What is new about them? The Beatitudes became very important for us; they
showed us the character of the citizens of the kingdom. Citizens of the kingdom are
people with unconquerably joyful hearts, happy people. They are charged with the
explosive power of the life that flows from God. That is what they should manifest
to the world. They are to possess the earth; they are called to serve the earth…We felt
in Arnold’s words that Jesus was seeking for our souls, seeking for us to belong to him
completely, for us to love in earnest – and we strove for this with all our might."

Hallelujah!

The Ruins of Zion

Jesus send your reign down

upon earth's people lost in the sadness

of a violent dark

Send your Light into our hearts

flood us with you grace and heal us within the Shadow of Your Hand

For we are the Chosen Ones of Your Name

The Blood of Jesus is our Refuge!!

The Name of God is our Strong Tower and Hope!!



Give us direction O Lord,

We go to build up the Ruins of Zion

Ignite our Hearts in oneness to the call

Shine your Face upon us and our work

Let us praise You where Your Heart is!!

Meet us, Glory, within the walls again!!

Living Heart

The days are cheerfully made new

As the Eternal dwells in you

We find loving others a burden made light

This thing we call life

In Jesus becomes a short flight



Jesus in your forgiveness

the failures of today

burn quickly away

For You, love I strive and pray

Stay with me in the night

as well as the day



I ask you to purge this heart of stone

with your flame before the throne

I ask no other freedom than You

And to breathe with a heart made new

Amen

The Blood of Hearts

Widom Cries aloud to the children of ignorance

The just shall be vindicated becoming as the stars at Night

For The humble impoverished of might

Remains the DayLight

Wisdom is given to the holy who walk in God's sight

Man of suffering the Kingdom is in your heart to bear

May Zion know your Torches blare

May the power of Jesus to renew

be poured out to us as we give our hearts to You.

We rip out our hearts for this world

May Zion's flame be restored.

Amen

Water Healing

Water is poured out upon the earth bringing life to all

It refreshes the subjects below torn by the Fall

It rages down the mountains

In it Children play

It touches the deepest caverns of the Earth

Which cannot reach the Light of Day

My soul has been healed in the wind-in the rain

i am reminded of the kindness of God

i know that no sin can remain

i love the waters: lakes ponds and Sea

Jesus, in your pure waters i have quiet and peace

Eternal, Blessed be your name

Breathing in You is free

Movement and Rest

Jesus said, "If they say to you, 'Where have you come from?' say to them, 'We have come from the light, from the place where the light came into being by itself, established [itself], and appeared in their image.'
If they say to you, 'Is it you?' say, 'We are its children, and we are the chosen of the living Father.'
If they ask you, 'What is the evidence of your Father in you?' say to them, 'It is motion and rest.'"

Gospel Of Thomas vs 50

The Blood

In the shadows of doubt new life is breathed into me.

I look deeply at the pale moon, I find serenity

The Blood of Jesus set's me free from all my chaos and hurt within.

I feel the Light of the pale moon testifying to the grace I have received

Calling me near to the Eternal Fire

Jesus is returning soon.

So make my life in your blood.

I need you in my heart.

In need you in lifegiving death.

Breathe life again Eternal.

Awaken my heart to know You in Living and in the Dying.

Amen

The True Christian

"The true Christian is like sandal wood, which imparts it's fragrance to the axe which cuts it, without doing any harm it return."
