Is It Really All About

Is it really all about 

Me 
Mine 
I

(and rights and freedoms and don’t tell me what to do) 

I thought the common good was the thing

The other
The weak
The poor
The disenfranchised
The lonely
The sick
The lost

I thought the 
Other was the thing 

That 

We were meant to be on about

(You know)

The least of these
That 
HE is always on about

Or 

If not the least of these 

Then at least 

The Body

So many amputated now
Wounded
Cut off
(from one part at least)
Because

It became too much about

Me 
Mine 
I 
(and rights and freedoms and don’t tell me what to do)


(an unintended consequence I’m sure)

How When Why

Did we lose 

The Way

How When Why

Did the Main Thing 

Cease to be 

The Main Thing

How When Why

Did we make it all about

Me 
Mine
I
(and rights and freedoms and don't tell me what to do)


When

(perhaps we lost our way 
a long time ago 
and didn’t even realize 
that we did)


Jesus

Your beloved Bride is 

Broken
Angry
Confused
Forlorn
Lost

Spirit come

Rescue

Revive

Redeem

Restore


She needs 

New life

Again



Could Would Should

When the things that could be 

Can’t

When the things that would be 

Won’t

When the things that should  be 

Shan’t

I press into You
I press into You

My

Rock
Redeemer
Lover
Friend

Prevaricate

"Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him, “When you continue to embrace all that I teach, you prove that you are my true followers.  For if you embrace the truth, it will release true freedom into your lives.” 
John 8:31-32 (TPT)

The truth
The whole truth
And nothing but the truth

The prevaricating from the podium is
Killing us
Literally
(okay not literally but you know what I mean)

Spirit come
Teach
Release
Set the captives free

We welcome
Invite
Long for
Your fullness

Your embrace

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Song of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
