What holds those words together On that page Bound forever Do they have something Unique Important to say?
Your Spirit's finger Put them there Crystal clear With the whole world You yourself wished to share
Of your love, justice Grace, mercy, forgiveness But Also your Commands Rules, Regulations For each woman, child Each man
You cannot have the one Without the other Hand in hand do they come Flowing side by side Living as true brothers
If you want God's full blessings Then fully His commands You must obey Treasure every letter Those words and Their life’s messages They have to convey!
Fat cats, Fat cats Sitting all in line Meowing, screeching Even do they whine Look at me They groom themselves Do we not look So supremely fine
Spoiled are they Pampered No wonder they do not care To stray Here in this place They remain Remarkably so safe
But outside dangerous winds They blow Sometimes you must Face the cold winds For true courage To begin to grow
So step outside your comfort’s walls Harken to a truer call Follow a softer voice But it must be Of your own choice Again, step out A dark world in need awaits You just may be surprised Even a fat cat may be allowed To help someone through Heaven's shining golden gates!!
Today In Jerusalem You may hear some clamor Sounds, voices In the air float rumors A third temple they say Will bring for our earth A much better day!!
But don't they know There already is one! It is you and me If in our God Christ Jesus You wholeheartedly Do believe!!
Christ does not Need dead, cold stones In which to survive It is within the human heart He comes best to live And to most assuredly still thrive!!
As Christian believers We are living stones Built up together As one For God's Spirit A newer Home Along with His Holy Son Of this newer temple His Living Cornerstone!!
Once for all Christ's blood purifies For a whole world To see So with faith Anyone, everyone May forever live At the foot of God's throne His deeply loved, Glorified, Perfected Living Stones!!!!
This, An unusual gate An unusual shape Formed Of two wooden beams Not entirely an Unbroken seam What's known as A Cross
On it people were hung By hands or wrists From its one horizontal rung Until No longer down here Did they exist
Left to die Against God's pale blue sky But For them it was not The end For them the journey Was it just about To begin
Their souls released To step through a gate Into eternal peace Or into a darker pain For them, Their existence would Never be the same
Christ took that dark Symbol of man's brutality And turned it into the new Reality Of God's goodness, Forgiveness Love Falling in heavenly showers Of Jesus Christ's blood
So won't you step through This heavenly gate Opened daily, Always freely to you But remember, Only by your own faith As your Creator's joy-filled Heart awaits Do its portals swing wide To reveal His Glorious Paradise inside!!
