Chosen

He Favours you
Knows you 
Sees you 
Treasures you
past and now and always,
The restless struggles
needs and pains 
Sees you in your destination 
the future landing place
destiny celebrations,
Fullness of the Kingdom's reign.
As you give God space 
Yell, "Yes Lord"
He fills it,
More space 
More God 
Giving him your weakness 
His strength overflows,
His strength 
Your strength 
Powering the broken 
Power resting on you 
Power in you 
planting you deep 
In the Spirit source,
Protecting you,
In opening your 
faith accept that 
He alone is strong
the strength you need,
Heart given to Christ 
Risen with Christ
Vision from Christ,
In him only.
The beauty of his love
displays power and strength 
completely,
Like diamonds
on the dark backdrop 
shining clarity 
against the pain darkness
Facets and crystal sparking
against the doubts and friction,
Like mountains etched winter white
Clear against blue skies
rising on Canterbury horizons
Kaleidoscope complexities
Creation's colours
The king's colours 
life's colours,
Streams of light 
Revealing the colours 
Powering from his majesty 
His sacrifice, resurrection strength
Brings crisp sharp reality, 
You sense deep his 
Supply, his generosity 
Creating surprise
in your life, in your forward steps,
And as you 
wait for the best time 
Ripe time 
Moment of right time 
Not doubting in darkness
his call in the light,
Responding regardless
Flowing within His insight
Peace beyond understanding
A Peace foundation
Builds within,
And you step 
Casting your cares, fears 
Now
strong in his strength 
Transparent in His peace
creative in his capacity 
Lit by His grace
peace bringers
Kingdom singers
God's people of the plains
Protected, 
covered by
Sentinel angels
Standing shoulder strong
Towering above 
the Alps
Shining
Mirrors of God's glory.

Starting Thoughts: God fills us with His strength flowing from His love for us. We are called to leave fears with Him and in a paradox of transparency be mirrors of God's glory.

Chosen in God

Rambo or Ridiculous

Fish hook in the mouth
Caught on image's steel of
fabricated manhood,
Rambo fighter or
Bumbling stupid
ridiculous Homer Simpson,
Real men, stand up,
take a stance,
shoulders, spine firm.

Families torn with violent fists
tearing words
Pounding uncontrolled anger,
stripping life from children’s eyes,
brutal intent breeding
Contempt in those
men should protect,
bankruptcy of relationships
thrown into a spiraling maelstrom
sucking spirit from society.
Real men, stand up,
take a stance,
shoulders, spine firm.

We hear the call
have a desire to be different
to be the Man,
to be the father, brother
but the struggle…

against the media images
of men
against the claws of sin
and weakness,
slashing character.

But there is
one Powerful love,
stirring strong love
Compassionate of heart
A tenderness to protect
Who in His difference suffered
took the weight
of the world on His shoulders
and cried, "It is finished"
Sin no longer rules
in the power of the cross
You are free, because Jesus
Nailed sin
cancelled sin,
took the fall
Paid out all
Paid it all,
deleted it all
Released your guilt
freed your past and future.

Yes, pure passionate love
uncompromising love,
stirring secure love.

Your strength is in Jesus
you can rest in His peace
Do you believe this
impossible possible
from Christ?
Shake free from false lines,
Real men, stand up,
take a stance,
shoulders, spine firm.
