September 12th
1 AM
worship
voices collide
Singing praise for the one
gratitude for the time to come
Who knew Christ would shine so bright in hotel rooms
2:30 AM
nerves
Confused
Overwhelmed
bags overflowing
overflowing
hearts
Step onto the shuttle
Airport hustle
Rushing
Breathing
Taking off
Landing
Taking off
Landing . . . landing . . . wheels on ground
Here
Here
Its here
53 packed in a bus
Heart pumping
and it begins
Community overflowing
Thankfulness exploding
Beans and
tortillas
and
Papaya
Holy Spirit showing
Up
Tongues speaking
Asking the lord
And he answers
shows up
Heals
Over and over
pride breaking
Freedom growing
Scooter rides
Rain dance
Because there’s a child in all of us
Let it out
Shout
For the one who
sends the Rain
Squeezing squeezing
Tight
into
Chicken bus
the smells
Spicy poverty
And it smells good
hurts
street food sick
worth it
fires surrounded by people
my brothers and sisters
I see christ
In the laughter and late
Night
Chatter
Life abundantly
Singing shouting
And we can’t stop singing
Because joy can’t help but sing
5 30 awakening
Because sunrise skies are alive
now I’m alive
in the One who saves
Corrales
a village
Where He’s already breaking my
Heart
For what breaks
His
Tears streaming
Prayers flowing
laying hands and fierce
Justice
Over a broken town
rojo is red
cafe is brown
I never knew Jesus had
brown eyes
And did you know He had
dirty fingers
snot on His nose
and a laugh that lights up the classroom
my heart classroom
Because He’s already teaching me the
meaning
of compassion
children wonder why
the gringas are here
Why?
they’re worth it
And I’m broken again
again
Again
But the One who heals is in me
And is already healing
Sowing
Reaping
Dry bones are coming
Alive
Alive
Alive
its
only
