Stuck

02.11.2022 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Even in the midst
of your lust and lies
The ignorance,
Where things of Earth
anaesthetise you to life
Even in the moment
of exact pain and sin
Stuck
Stolen
Scared
God has no illusions
he already knows us
everything about us
intimately
always has,
and in that very moment
God pursues us
to love us
to be Love in us

so Do not live
in the void away from God
Do not sit in there
in nothing
ignoring

for impossibilities
bow to God
bow to the Indestructible Christ,

Put to death
what belongs to the earth
Die to self
love and live to the Spirit
in restoration of heart
transformation of will
Renewing of mind
growing God in you,
releasing the Father’s heart
body and soul under the prompting
of His Spirit
Changing to, from
the creator’s image.

In this you will display
Jesus flowing through you
The presence and power of God,
Live now
as you will be
in eternity.

Starting Thoughts:
Knowing the worst of us, in our darkest moments, or the best of us in what we think are our crowning moments, God knows us, loves us the same. He has no illusions about who we are, but He loves us the same.

The exact image
of the invisible God
who existed before time,
From heaven
the Powerful, immortal, holy
‘All’ descended,
Supreme word made flesh
the great I Am
born into the fallen
born as a helpless baby
born to live human
born into our reality
born to take sin,
Then in true love’s mystery
the incomprehensible exchange
sin for glory
the Blood of the cross
for restoration
Innocence remade
innocence forever
freedom forever;
from guilt
from pasts
from malevolent memories
from apathy
from ourselves,
Christ in us
the fullness of God
the hope of Glory,
Eternally Saved
Released
Ready to explore
the fullness of life
The fullness of who God
says we are.

All in all.

Starting Thoughts:
The fullness of God, the universe creator and sustainer, powerful yet born into our world vulnerable, willing to exchange in the ultimate love gift, his position for a true connection with us. The one who is 'All' wants to be All in all.

Grace Centered

11.09.2022 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

So what am I looking at?
What consumes my day?
Why do hopes disappear?
where does Time go?

Take your questions
and Start in the midst of grace
Beautiful in faith
in the centre of love -
this is God’s desire for you,
God’s heartbeat
hidden in the ages
now Jesus revealed,
His powerful
sacrifice of love,
Christ’s victory,
Start here
born to be born again,
perfect in your Spirit,
Know you are someone-
no need to perform.

Abide, wait in the Holy Spirit
know God in His fullness
Yielded to His faultless will
become what you already are,
New desires will surface
emerging passions to please
your Saviour and King,
to live from Heaven
live from the power of God
and become what you behold
become what you see
become the very likeness
of God.
God’s life in this world.

Starting Thoughts:
As Christians are we living from the knowledge that we are now perfect, blameless, chosen, beautiful in God's eye This revelation of grace allows us to be be like God in our Sprit and now working out how our soul (minds) are changing from glory to glory, closer to the desires of God.

Finding Space

07.08.2022 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Running dry
Empty and lost
burnt out
Catching irritation
and annoyances,
I stop
Let go
Tell the busy
the pain
to halt
they try not to cease,
But I let stuff go
and choose to
bring who I am
and stand
sit
lie down
run
walk
rest
write
dance
wait
in my secret place,
a place to find God
Practicing delight
in now moments
Speaking to my soul
telling it to trust
to enjoy
the One who truly loves,
Leaning into God’s heartbeat
Waiting
Holding
Stilling
connecting with God
slowing the Rhythms of life
into unforced Rhythms of grace
into heaven’s presence,
Living from eternity
Living free and lightly.

Starting Thoughts:
Are we prepared to live in a way that truly meets with our past so that we can walk through the pain and habits that stop us from finding rhythms of grace in the rhythms of life? Can we find our own place to meet with God are get to hear His voice?

Wishes

03.07.2022 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Who knows me?
How much do I hide
even from myself?
Spiralling dreams
and whisper wishes,
So much wishing
for favours
for the new
for salvation
for freedom
for revival,
for change
without being changed
without being change
without taking a step.

Burdens accumulating in my mind
Chains cold, snaking, tightening,
Hard to hear myself
to know who I am.

So
Can I be be real?
give God full access?
Can I start with
knowing the truth
of how Jesus sees me…
as a beautiful soul
as a redeemed Spirit,
And take step by step
a journey
to freedom?

Starting Thoughts:
Do we really understand how Jesus sees us and accepts us. That He knows us for who we are and ignores this in the grace and love that flows from the Father's heart? He truly sees nothing other than the beautiful in us.

Love First

13.11.2021 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

If first
front and centre
I believe loudly
speak loudly
gossip loudly
behave strongly
react strongly
If first I
become more of the noise
become more protest
become more social media
more arguments
more righteous anger
more fear
more hate
but live without love
stand up without love
listen without love,
I live for nothing,
Without love
I won’t be known,
not be truly free
not be truly me
I won’t be Known
as one who walks
like Christ
with the love of Christ
connecting me
with a cord
that can’t be broken
to others who
in their differences
variety
thinking
are also God’s kingdom
here on Earth.

Look at Christ
See Jesus
the Saviour’s eyes,
live in His love,
be His love,
for by our love
love in action and truth
we will be known.

Bible Verses
1 John 3: 16-18, 1 Corinthians 13, John 13:35
Starting Thoughts:
As we react to each other across the church, nation, earth and we seem to make more noise and less sense what does Jesus say?

Did You Hear?

13.11.2021 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Did you hear?
Did you listen?
In the stream
of your constant words
in the vortex
of your criticism crisis
in the negativity
of idea paralyses
in the absence
of love’s gratefulness
in the increase
of new hatefulness,
Why is the power
important?
Why do you feel
impotent?
Why do you
need so much to win?
Why has my life
let you down?
Why do the praises
I hear resound hollow?

Let me take your
minds and broken hearts
again, and again and again
I am big enough
to take it all,
Let my goodness
my love
my knowledge of you
my love for others
around you
all people in your life
shape you, grow you
create more you in you,
Let me heal a nation
through a people
holding tight
to the power of
love through the cross,
give it away
a life striving
a life surviving
Be the humanity
of the kingdom arriving
with my heart.
Be my body
be everyone
who I desire you to be
Love your true identity
in the body
in my church
in my nation
arise together
laugh with me
be free with me
be awake with me
smile with me
breathe with me
dance in the rain with me
in harmony with me
be the resting place
of love with me.

Bible Verses
Ephesians 3
Starting Thoughts:
As people divide on different sides of Covid arguments friendships and relationships are broken. How easy is it to take something and allow it to stop love between people, halt respect, give lie to the past together.

Conquered by Division

12.11.2021 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

We thought we knew
our world
our life
our futures
Then airports shut
distance became
distance again
homes became
prisons and playpens
businesses shuttered
and viruses spread
in bodies and minds,
Uncertain times
with blindness of future,
reverberating noise
Fear atmospheres
and shadows shaking
thoughts and reactions,
Fight and flight
collapsing logic
strangling
the way I used to think
shuttering my humanity
closing my care,
creeping chaos,
manipulative media,
arguments and acid anxiety.

What will I choose
these echoes of
disintegration and violence
severing relationships
dividing hearts,
Or through me
Allow others to see
our God’s gentleness
our God’s kingdom
our God’s love?

Will I let go
think on, meditate on
have eyes for
Jesus,
See God
Give God the fear
the struggles
and choose life
choose grace
choose restoration
choose God’s peace
and give the peace of God?

Starting Thoughts:
While watching a video about bullying in a school I picked up my phone and started writing.

Seeking Sunshine

18.08.2021 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

True life will not come
Without turning
to the light
to the glory
Without opening
your heart
To the power
to the rebirth,
welcoming
the promise kiss
Radiant rays
on human skin.
Shift to
discover
sunshine shimmers,
Welcoming
new life soul deep
new freedom
Renewing you forever.

God is light
This light
pure joy
the gift from God
forever forgiveness,
forever salvation
complete to your core,
Your confessions now
Unfolding your soul
to the truth
the essence
the pulse
of who you are
in Christ.

Shine!

Starting Thoughts:
Picture a wild flower field!
The Lilly of the valley.
Open to the sunshine, the power that comes from God for you to be yourself. If the flowers of the fields are clothed, looked after, loved like this by Go - how much more us?

God of Echoes

22.12.2020 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word |Seeker Written by: W Grieve

Above clouding noise
Above erasing passions
Above tides of bleak tiredness
in the midst of daily routines
In dark nights of the soul,
the God of life echoes
a call
reverberating again and again
A kick beat into my life
penetrating extreme sound
Shaking my inner soul
Creating a transparent heart
before the Creator God.

Awareness arises
I have nothing
standing
crystal-clear before Christ’s journey
crystal-clear in front of the cross
Before this love
Poured down, poured out,
overflowing, deep beyond deep
I stop, talk to God
Press pause...
Press pause...

And now in the silence
immersed between the echoes
a silence stretching eternity
into its depths,
holy love intertwines
profound closeness, meaning
questions and realities
into the space,

How can I not smile in this love?
How can I not cry in this love?
How can I not wonder in this love?
How can I not be in this love?
How can I not find peace in this love?
How can I respond in worship to this love?
My God, my King.

Starting Thoughts: In the noise and routines of life, the business, can we press pause… and rest in the silence immersed between the echoes and listen, become aware of God's love.

Know It

07.06.2020 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Peace that flows inside out
Cascading into my heart
A Love that creates vulnerability
Sees my flawless
beyond my flaws,
A Love with the unending
persistent
effervescent flow
of heaven,
intimate Love from an
lover who creates destiny,

I am a child of God
I Know it!
I Love it!
I Live it!

What was the reason
you were made?

Starting Thoughts: The love that sees us as flawless, that goes beyond forgiving to see us reborn!

Response

24.04.2020 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Early dawn’s golden light
seeps through Galilee hills
night's shadows washing
colour into bushes,
Lake washes
gentle to the white stoned shore,
morning embers
dance red on cloud's edges,
morning embers
glow red
in the fire
surrounded by stones,
fish cooking,
disciples relaxing,
in wonderment of
encountering Jesus.

"Peter, Come walk with me”
Jesus unlimbers
from the fire companionship
walking with Peter
across the beach
stones and sand
into a personal experience
deep and tough,
Jesus stops
looking into Peter’s eyes
lifting his hand to Peter's shoulder
asking the past into Peter’s mind

“Do you love me?”
“Do you love me?”
“Do you love me?”

and years of discipleship
three cock crows
hiding in the dark
fears of past weeks
joy of the last minutes
with Jesus lakeside;
All collapse swirling in Peter’s mind.

And in dawn’s warmth
the beach pebbles smile
and turn their faces
to the sun,
even they cry out ‘God',
and Peter’s soul
Softens, releases
the same chord
of love in his heart,
a love covering all times
a love permeating all of him
soaking passion into Peter’s mind,

“Jesus, you know I love you."

Starting Thoughts: From betrayal to love, from darkness to sunrise, from feeling a failure to becoming a rock that faith will spread and be built on. Peter responds to the question on the shore of Lake Galillee.

Two Eyes

14.03.2020 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

How can we see
with two eyes?

Two eyes that
look across a nation
look into a womb
Look at the same moments
Look at the same realities.

One sees unborn life
a miracle moment
a boy or girl
anticipated child
already part of a family
Talked about, scans adored,
arms, legs, mind, heart
so formed
it could be born now and live,
a baby.
Secretly cherished in anticipation,
now past a time
where parents accept the hope
of full term
seen as a life to protect,
Shared with ripples of separation
To Family, grandparents,
close friends, social media
A joy hope treasured
Heart held.
A Second eye
sees pain
labeled a foetus
distance from emotions
through a medical term
No easy answer
to this unborn complication
always a situation
persuading full termination
   the mind stress
   the so wrong rape
   the women’s rights body
all true
inconvenient reality
convenient reality?

A blinded world that has
Lost sight of love
for a mother
for motherhood
for a death row baby.
Are we not as strong
as our care for weak
as our care for the voiceless?

How can we see
with both eyes?

Starting Thoughts: Abortion is a contentious issue no matter what side you are on. The question is - are we really willing to look at and empathise with the pain on both sides, are we really willing to decide what constitutes life for both mother and baby?

Once for All

12.03.2020 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Histories appointed time
Witnesses in groups
scattered around the hill,
Centurions guarding
clutching weapons and discipline
Eyes watching cross nailed body
One of Rome’s three erected punishments,
Disciples grief clustered
mother, brother, friends, disciples
broken hopes pierced with
shards of possibilities,
strangers there just to watch
nervous after earthquakes
had thrown all to ground
and blackness cloaked the sun,
Mockers stood angrily close
Pointing fingers and bitter tongues,
Serpents in the distance
Priests and Pharisees
politicians and Sadducees
manipulators and blamers
Covering hypocrisy
Pulling the strings of greed
and charlatan history
to the skull shaped hill,
Watching in awe and dread
the risen dead
holy people from tombs
laughing and
walking Jerusalem’s streets.

And the waiting
the waiting
Starts
the waiting
the waiting...

For some this time
Pauses life
Suspends talking, hugging, futures,
For others
relief and business as usual,
For others
covering the lies
coating the death dealing
in white paint
lime wash on the bodies.

Three days journey
emotions and thoughts
questions and statements,
And Earth shifted again
And Jesus simply walked
from death’s depths,
The power to raise from
one death
once for all
One death
was risen
with the power
to bring life
eternally, always, without fail
for all.

Starting Thoughts: At the dividing time in history - a story, a fable, a truth? Jesus who walked Earth, was crucified and rose from the dead at Easter. For you, once and for all.

99% Nothing

08.03.2020 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Three in one danced
Cosmic powers that
Spun eternal belonging
And from that community
From that communication
From that fellowship
From that love
the word spoke,
From nothing
Atoms of 99% space
arranged themselves
Galaxies composed themselves
Earth formed
And the godhead
saw it was good,

The word spoke
in power again
and then from matter
Atoms, nuclei and electrons
was formed a living
99% nothing:
65% water
65% oxygen
18% carbon
16% protein
16% fat

100% loved
100% belonging
welcomed home
to Father, Son and Spirit.

Starting Thoughts: The power of the Word that spoke and from nothing created the universe that is still essentially nothing. And humans, composed of the same atoms are also 99% nothing but we are alive and thinking about the cosmos we live in. I find it amazing that essentially space and us are so similar - nothing. Yet, go figure - God says we are worth dying for, celebrating in His creation.

Creation and the science of nothing Christian Spoken Word Poem

New Covenant

01.03.2020 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word |Seeker Written by: W Grieve

A Changed life
A new covenant
a promised Hope
prophetic promises
they seem so far away,
Lost in mysteries
Lost in the past
Lost in other cultures
Lost in curses from generations
Lost in business
Lost in guilt and regret
Lost in identity confusion
Lost to the grip of death
What can I do? Nothing!

But then Jesus called
The glorious Word spoke
Called Us - called me by name...
to know Him
invited into his goodness
through believing and receiving
and now we are
Simply, wonderfully
Hidden in Christ, the Messiah
one with Christ
from the beginning,
in his searing death
In his pure righteousness
in his powerful resurrection
in his abundant grace
in his regal freedom
In his deep, deep love
in his divine power
in his eternal life.

And now we reign
as kings, queens in life
here and now
chosen sons and daughters
with the sunshine of heaven
Embedded, flowing from our hearts
Believed in by God
I am who he says I am
We are who
He says we are.

Starting Thoughts: History revolves around a split in time between the old and the new covenant where Jesus died and rose and with the plan from eternity restored us all to God, not through what we do but through what God says we are in the love, forgiveness, grace and resurrection of Christ.

The new covenant promises of God Spoken Word Poetry

Grace Identity

23.02.2020 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

For your struggles
for your loss
for the questions
for the put downs
for the pain
for the striving
for the business
is the way, truth, life - Jesus
Before creation started
Before voids filled with matter
Before life was formed
Before sin darkened relationships
God’s answer was chosen
Jesus
- the precious son
- the Grace gift
Christ
- glories unfolding plan
- glories forever solution
Streaming through time’s generations
God’s answer once and for all
won us at the Cross of love.

Now
under the power of Christ
with the same love God has for Jesus
we are eternally loved
we are forever sealed
we are in glorious grace
our old ways totally nailed
to the same death cross,
abundant provision
overflowing life
kingdom authority
perfectly holy and complete
for all time
powered by His faith in me
all through the same cross,

Now
We say no to ungodliness
no to worldly passions
Yes to His Grace
Being holy for God because
we are holy
Being love for God
because we are God’s love
We are who God says we are.

Bible Verses: Titus 2:11-12, Galatians 2:20
Starting Thoughts: The answer, once and for all time, has been the glorious power in the resurrection of Christ after becoming the grace gift of God as the cross.

Abundant

23.02.2020 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Created to be connected
to the Living God
centered through the cross,
such a richness
deep in God’s love
death by sin crossed off
forever
forgiven once for all
overwhelmed by His grace
a new world
a new covenant
a new promise
a new kingdom
a daily communion.

And now
cross changed
I believe,
Rebirth in Jesus
Holy Spirit flooded,
everything in abundance
from life’s source
beyond expectation
releasing the River
within me,
Life full and overflowing
Cascading out from my
expanded heart
Touching, awakening
others around
blessing people
my life streaming
God’s deep, deep love.

Bible Verses: John 10:10
Starting Thoughts: The cross covenant of love brings us to a new identity, released to be fully us as we realise the depth of God's favour and love from the river of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

Gone Fishing

09.02.2020 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Lost in my
shoreside work
Repeating another repair
on the net,
Busy work
Repeating the knots,
Repeating the questions,
Repeating the routine
of my life to now,
I turn
look up
Disturbed by
Hearing the steps of God
- of my saviour
He has come!
Flowing with His footsteps
scattering small stones
that skitter down
from the upper bank,
towards me,
Towards us.

My eyes squint against
the glare dancing
from fractures of the lake’s waves,
And I see Him
Not that different
Not especially tall
Not especially handsome
Not dressed better
but yet - different,
And when He speaks
just a short sentence
an unexpected
yet expected call,
My heart stops
My life stops,
My soul jumps,
“Come follow me,
and I will make you fisher's
of people”
I’m caught.

And that is it,
reality bites
and I’m gone fishing.

Starting Thoughts: A simple call to a life of disruption, power and purpose. Jesus called the disciples as they fished by the Sea of Galilee to follow him proclaiming he would make them 'fishers of men'
