Rise up
Rise up

Stand up
Stand up
Covered
in the blood of Jesus

Sing out
Sing out
worshipping
In the spirit of God

Open up
Open up
Loved
deep in the Father’s arms

Call out
Call out
Thankfulness
as children of the Living God

Honoured
Honoured
is the Almighty Lord
enthroned on high.

Starting Thoughts: We start by knowing our restored, totally loved identity as sons and daughters of the Living God… from there our love for God is reflected back to Him in worship and out to others.

Honour

01.09.2019 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Honour
Shakes self
Opens self
Sees others
Acknowledges truly - others
Places others
Sees hopes
Brings favour to all.

Honour today.

Father in heaven
Honoured is your name
Honoured with my life
Honoured - worthy is the King.

Starting Thoughts:
Learning to bring out the gold in others, being able to freely honour them, is a way we can bless both the body of Christ and those yet to know Christ. If God is the good in this world, and we acknowledge the good in others, are we in fact honouring Christ?

Unfriend

18.08.2019 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Button click
Deed done,
Payback or distance
Achieved,
Another assumption
Relationship Symptom
Like drug overdoses, suicides
Pulling society
down meaningless
Sink holes,
When will you stand
in love's enough,
Sticking to promises,
Standards and boundaries
Encouraging
safety, security, honour
Bringing, being
safety, security, honour,
Bringing, being, choosing
love?

Starting Thoughts: How easy is it to push the unfriend button, to disconnect from others? How often are we unfriending people as we sit on our technology and ignore? Will we take the risk to love?

Speak Sparks

04.08.2019 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

What do you declare?
What words fall death
Lilting lies
Gossip slights,
Silent sighs.
Do you watch
what is spoken
from your heart?
Uplifting life
from your lips
Voicing the remarkable
Agreeing with heaven
Agreeing with God
Speaking today’s
love spark.

Starting Thoughts: Words are so powerful. Gossip, lies, truth, negativity, positivity, honour (honor) all from words that spin in our minds or from our lips.

Thankful

28.11.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

So easy
To live flat
without that start to the day
Where a thankful heart
brings life, health
to your body.

Declare thanks for
Jesus, growing faith,
New days every morning,
living out a change
partners, friends,
challenges, opportunities,
memories, abilities
in all things
Find thankfulness
and deepen love,
Practice sharing thankfulness
Giving honour to others
in small moments,
more fully human,
Living life more true.

Poem Tags

Trust

13.10.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

I remember the
Jesus transformation
I honour God
for who He is,
I know His pathway
is revealed with my risk,
So striding through
emotion mind mists,
I walk trusting
with thankful heart depths.

Bible Verses
Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way. Proverbs 3:5-6 GNB

Where We Go

16.09.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Grace, forgiveness walks the earth,
dances and sings
a thousand planets of
hope into your spirit,
Chosen to receive hope
Chosen to be hope
Chosen to give hope
Knowing identity
Knowing the power of
Who you are in the living God,
Walking, praising in freedom,
Christ in you is the
Hope of glory.
Jesus spoke, "All I have is yours,
and all you have is mine.
And glory has come to me through them.”

Through us Lord!

We receive
your glory
a gift of gold, precious
And we declare
your glory...
gold
over this place, this city, this land.

A Kingdom heart
Of honour
Honour that flows life
releases life
produces trust
protects freedom
Honour that embraces responsibility.

I smile at the thought
of my honouring actions
Knowing we need your
grace given
as you only can
opening us
Putting aside the petty
Choosing not to gossip,
embracing love for others
valuing others
favouring others,
Fully alive and free
to be honouring people.
sharing, giving honour
freely.

Bible Verses: John 17:10
Romans 12:10

ANZAC

11.04.2015 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word |Pupils Written by: W Grieve

White crosses
contrast to
Neat cut grass,
Buried memories.

Poppy fields
Blood red petals
Black heart centres,
Flower life tributes,
We remember:
Pain, sacrifice, pride,
courage,
mud soaked comradeship,
Betrayal, dark fear, numbness,
Shrieks of explosions
Broken cries,
Shattered lives,
Shattered limbs,
Shattered minds,
Incomprehensible carnage.

My soul embraces
emotion questions that
challenge the now.

In the stillness...
Mutilated reflections of
Ultimate price.

Blood poured out
Life given
Life lifted.
Life received.

Knife Moment

16.06.2012 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word |Seeker Written by: W Grieve

Refugee from
dark kaleidoscopes
of noise machine demands,
I can't find a place,
Firm
where I find me,
Strong where my heart
is held in something more.
Random in a random world?
Nothing beyond
No reason
No soul,
In stark thought,
Naked reality,
Just white tree bones
of scattered self
on a firestormed landscape,

I laugh
slightly mad
Yet crystal clear
It is Time to snap,
Die,
Or find life.

Starting Thoughts: There come times in our lives where we know we are on the edge of an important decision, a moment that will change our future directions, hopes and dreams. We know the choice we should make and what it means if we don't but somehow it still seems so hard to make and year paradoxically easy.

Marriage Dance

25.09.1985 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word |Seeker Written by: W Grieve

We rejoice and delight with you
your unity and affection
enjoying and praising your love
with this time of
eating, drinking, dancing,
laughing and sharing.

Our thoughts are in the songs
gentle unspoken words
kindred conversations,
quiet prayers.
Moments of ceremony and celebration.

We’ve given you to each other
to the fragrance
of a journey
sought after
but found by few,
a love founded deep
in the friendship
and mysteries of Christ,
sharing the fruit
of past and present
and the joy of tomorrow together,
Your love sealed
in the eternal knowledge and care
of the living God.

We thankfully witness
the beauty of
your binding love.

We bless you
in your vision of life together.

Starting Thoughts: A formal declaration of love in front of friends and family, a vow to have vision of life together. Marriage is a wonderful dance of two people into the future based on a commitment to love and connect.
