Shameless audacity
Just go ahead and ask
You will not regret it
Pour out your words
Coming straight from your heart
What do you need?
What do you want?
Who are you carrying
Close in your thoughts?
Bring it all up
Bring it all out
Pray –
What will it hurt?
You will be welcomed
You will be heard
In this place
Where heaven meets earth
Connection becomes communion
Ask, seek, knock
Believe and receive
The Spirit is yours

Haunted
We are haunted by the brutal cost of our redemption
Images of the One
Broken for us
Flashing across our waking minds
The blood everywhere
Poured out for us
Communion is a haunting
Remember me

Waiting for Easter
All we have are words
And the grief that overwhelms us
Hope is gone
We saw with our own eyes
Our grief tells us
He is dead
Yet
We have words
We will wait
With our grief by the tomb

In the space between
My need –
My prayer
And His provision
There is an opportunity
For communion
With the Man of Sorrows
The Son of Man
Who had nowhere to call home
On this earth
I can enter the Sacred Garden
And stay awake for a while
With Him
While He bears my pain
And works unseen
His answer to my need
I will be changed
Deeply marked
With the fellowship of
His suffering
