Mark 4:30-32

The smallest seed of faithful Love
Can grow into a forest of change
The tiniest indwelling of God Himself
The cosmos can rearrange

Lord we often measure our lives
We measure our each given days
In our best efforts we may ask ourselves
‘How much does this increase God’s praise?’

We have been making bricks for Egypt
Even after You have set us free
Seeing our value in what we produce
Instead of contented to ‘be’

You set us free from economies of measure
You flip such things downside up
The smallest drop of Your Kingdom Love
Can fill overflowing our cup

May such a Truth not squelch our desire
To live and proclaim Love revealed
Lord Jesus, we ask You, send us Your Spirit
That through us the wounded are healed

But also continue, as we live Your Love
To allow us to see with Your Heart
That we may value all, things great or small
Knowing how You complete what You start

John 17:1-11

When Moses found the burning bush
He was invited to remove his shoes
Holiness said, “Come, approach..
“Your life I wish to use.”

Jesus moves into such a time
In prayer with the Father
And the fact that His disciples were there
Didn’t seem to bother

It’s almost like He wanted them
To observe this intimate prayer
There was something important in knowing
We were invited to be there

To hear the heart of the father
Revealed through the prayer of the Son
That just as the two of them relate
So also we would become One

That we would have life of the Age to Come
And such life would bring God glory
Through knowing God, and His Son Jesus
We’re invited to enter their story

As we’re already known by them
And still Loved as ever before
Here is a moment we should truly
Embrace, and not ignore

Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb
On our behalf, is praying
Through Him all things were made
And in this moment, He’s saying

Everything that was given Him
We have been enabled to believe
To know His Words, and knowing God
His Life we shall receive

If we take a moment and perceive
The foundations that He’s laying
To calm our souls and quiet our voice
We can still hear Him praying…
