Because you have been born again
Of imperishable Good News
It should make more of an impact than
To inspire you to shine your shoes
Rid yourself of all the things
That proclaim the old way
The elements that cause all forms
Of relationship decay
Malice, guile, and slander
Or being insincere,
All these declare envy and self
Over allowing others near
Our world wants so deeply
To know and to be known
Loving vulnerability declares
Jesus is on the throne
The living Word enfleshed as man
Completely yielded to Love
Like newborn babies crave all things
From your Father (who’s not just “above”)
The good news Jesus brought us
The Kingdom has come quite near
And as we live accordingly
We establish it as Here.
Empowered by the Spirit
Sent to us by the Son
We’ve tasted that the Lord is good
And He has made us One.
