Welcome to Day 2 of Part 5‘s Chapter 1 of Arise and Shine. Today, Anna is bringing forward the second free will offering of goatskin (no outward attraction).
Peace
Caught
Between two w/Words
The religion
I know
And the Son
Of God
I hear
Beckoning.
I wrestle
With the Alpha
And Omega
Who asks me
To surrender
The letter of the Law
I know
For the Living Word's
Searching
And knowing.
But what can I do
But open the door
To my Lord's knocking
To sup with Him?
Where can I go
But to the only One
Who has the Word
Of life?
So I surrender
My known
To be known
Fully and wholly
By the only
True God
Who stills
My heart
To know
The world
And all who dwell
Therein are
His.
I yield to my King
The cup of suffering
To my lips now take
And drink
In communion
The Living Word
To my Father
In thanksgiving lifting
I break
The bread
And take
Eat.
I fill my heart
With the
Law fulfilled
Who calls for me
To join Him
In His suffering
To know Him
In His death and resurrection.
My sovereign God
Who walks me
To the tomb
To show me what
He already sees:
"Unwrap him now
And let him loose"
I hear my Savior
Calling.
His work
Of surrender
Just invites me
Into
More.
More JOY
Before us laid
Than we could ever
Think of, ask for
Or imagine.
For, Christ's blood
Was shed
For this:
To reconcile
All things to Him
Whether on earth
Or heaven
To make
Peace.
5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Philippians 2: 5 – 8 (ESV)
Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.”
John 13:8 (ESV)
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
John 15:1-3 (ESV)
