Poetry for Worship...

Recently Joe led us in worship using some of the poetry he had written. We encourage you to offer your different expressions of worship & allow us to worship with you through poetry, visual art, lyric/song, etc.... maybe a journal entry (look at the Psalms, in many ways, that's what they are & not always simply bright skies but gray cloudy ones with promise of sun behind them...) or maybe something created by someone else that has spoken to you... Anyways, think outside the box and if you have something you think could possibly speak to someone else and serve as an act of worship & lead others in worship, then let a leader know so we can try to incorporate into our time together...

Here's Joe's poems:
You are the God of Jacob
The King of Israel
The one who parted the red sea
The one who loves yourself and me
To you there is no time
There is only now and always
The one who forever was
The one who speaks and it does
I long to bring you something that is worthy
To be a part of a generation that does
A generation that loves
What will people say?
Who cares because I have you
Life is good, my body fails me
But still you are faithful

Here, Here is the God of David
O looked and looked but couldn't find you
You were waiting for me to stop
To stop with my own might
When things seemed black as night
I wanted a sign
But you were right in front of me all the time
So I utter words with no audible voice
Songs of rejoice and praise
"MY GOD LIVES AND HE SAVES!"
Some men look for peace of mind
Or maybe just a tower to clim
I have a high priest who talks to his father
About me and says "He is mine."
He makes those see who once were blind
Looks through the mask we put up of just being fine
Kind and merciful is the priest
Whose seat is at the right hand of Elohiym

Why is our view of God so fricken narrow?
It wasn't Moses who killed the son of pharaoh
He made Annanius fall over dead
Turned an entire river red
But still cares to know the number of hairs on my head.
