about

"In spite of the sabotage that humanity exerts on God's interrelated world, the dreams of God prevail for a world that shares in [God's] dance of love originating back to the beginning of time."

"Our own self-sabotaging fear blocks our visions of forgiveness and reconciliation. But God's perfect love casts out such fear. Perhaps this is why the early church would call the resurrection of Jesus on the Sunday following the Sabbath the Eighth day of creation."

from Drawn In pg 36, 37 bitly.com/shorten/

lyrics

i was lost until i found you
then i just brought you along
‘trouble forgiving ‘til i met you
turns out we’re forgiven all along
Felt safe once I made up my mind
now I’m looking for a different kind (of salvation)

one that will rescue us all here
rescue us all here
rescue us all here
again

‘Felt like a pot made out of the scrap slag
doomed from the start
a face as fierce as clay
and a tablet-stone heart
raw dirt under my finger nails
lock jawed from the rusty nails (of my salvation)

that can rescue us all here
rescue us all here
rescue it all here
again

pushed to the wall by my anger
recklessly close to danger
imagining a better self
leveraging life just to earn more wealth
Disparaged I have run... away
Now I need some rest from my own way (of salvation)

Oh give rest to us all here
give rest to us all here
give rest for us all here

bring new life

I’m just withering like grasses
turns out the Word is all that lasted
‘while i was just a bruised reed
turns out you would not break me
oh, so I’ll just be the fool’s fool
keep praying that you’ll come through
(in the end)

oh, and recue us all here
rescue us all here
give rest to us all here
again
