2 posts in one day! How exciting is this?!?! If you know me you know sometimes I write poems. I wrote a couple while we were in Chitwan just about what the Lord was showing me. So enjoy those!
The Rooster
The rooster crows the praise of your name as he welcomes us into another day
Look around all ye people what do you see
The glory of the Lord is on display
Give Him praise
Give Him praise
The glory of the Lord is on display
Your glory shines from face to face
Hallelujah give Him praise
In the brick maker’s hands I see your strength
In the patience of our hosts I see your grace
As the red sun sets over the field I feel your peace
As we fellowship and sing praises I feel you surrounding me
Give Him praise
Give Him praise
The glory of the Lord is on display
Your glory shines from face to face
Hallelujah give Him praise
Brick by Brick
Sore knees and dirt kissed skin
With the rising of the sun and setting of it
I wonder if they ever want to quit
Shape the clay
Lay the bricks
Refined by fire
Now 10x stronger
Muscle and a shovel
Day by day we laid a foundation
Stone by stone
We moved from place to place
Wheelbarrow and grit
Building work ethic
A little dirt a little water
Brick by brick
Hand in hand
Mix and lay the cement so this building will stand
Slowly now steady now
Relying on others to show you how
Holy Spirit and interpretation
Day by day He’s laid the foundation
Piece by piece
We persevere and develop resilience
Building unshakeable faith
A little misfortune a little suffering
Struggle by struggle
Hand in hand
Run the race and through Christ we stand
Slowly now steady now
He’s making a monument out of you
Unclean
God I dare not look to you. But I sit at your feet. I hear your voice tell me I’m unclean. But still I sit because in your presence there is peace. The uncomfortable tension of your holiness and my sin meet. My cries of brokenness do not fall on deaf ears. My tears wash over me. Yet still these waters are muddied. Waiting for your cleansing fire to singe me. Still I sit at your feet unclean.
