“I Remember, Father,”

 

I remember, Father,

when they welcomed Me

with palm branches.

Papa, they sang “Hosanna!

Blessed is He who comes in the name of

the Lord! The King of Israel!”

With the next breath they shouted:

“Crucify Him, Crucify Him!”

King of Israel, they crown Me

with thorns and thistles.

The scapegoat I came,

riding on a donkey.

By every bruise- every lash

I would heal the nations.

Oh! Papa, take this cup from Me.

Not My will, but Yours be done.

Our Father, who art in Heaven,

hallowed be Thy name.

Your Kingdom come, Your will

be done.

On earth as it is in heaven.

Surely, Oh God, I will crush the

head of the serpent.

 

 

I remember, Father,

when I asked that Your name

would be glorified.

You thundered, “I have both

Glorified it and will glorify again.”

Your voice has gone forth

for the sake of Your people.

For from the rising of the sun,

even to its going down,

The Almighty, the I AM,

His name shall be made great

among the Gentiles.

In every place incense,

Adoration and honor

Shall be offered.

A pure offering will be

lifted up to YHWH;

For His name will be

known throughout the nations.

The Son of Man will be lifted up

High upon a tree, and He will suffer.

The only way to the Father

is through Me.

 

I remember, Father,

when light shot forth.

When birds first flew through the air.

When man walked with Us.

No shame; in Holy Communion.

We were with them in the

cool of the day;

in the shade of the apple tree

We awakened them to love.

Father, I desire that they

would be with Us where We are.

That they would dwell

in Your house, Abba.

That they would behold the glory

that You have given Me.

Oh, Papa, that they would know the love

You have given Me.

In Our Burning Fellowship,

They will dwell once again.

 

Father, I hear their songs,

They sing, “This was the joy

set before You,

that You would have my heart forever!”

Who is this?

Who is she, coming up

from the wilderness?

She is leaning upon Me, Papa.

She is getting it!

She is following the Lamb!

She surrenders all,

to gaze and behold- One thing they

desire of Me.

Ah, I will set My seal upon you,

My Bride.

Under the apple tree,

under the shadow of the Almighty,

I will whisper the secrets of My heart.

My Bride, Oh!

My pure and spotless one.

You have dove’s eyes.

Look Father, Let Me go to her.

She sings, “The Spirit and

the Bride say come!”

She has made herself ready,

Let Me go to her, Father.

 

I long for this day, Father.

No one has been found worthy.

They look to and fro

throughout the earth.

They weep.

I am the Lamb slain for them.

Papa, I have been found

The scroll in Your hand-

I have been found worthy to

open and loose its seals.

Oh, I hear their voices.

Abba! Do you hear them?

From the mountains to the coastlands

They sing a new song,

“You are worthy to take the scroll,

and to open its seals,

for You were slain,

and have redeemed us to God

by Your blood.

Out of every tribe and tongue

people and nation,

and have made us kings

priests to our God;

And we shall reign on the earth.”

Oh to burn with them;

I in them, and You in Me, Father.

To commune in this Burning Fellowship.
