As a reminder to myself and those who may occasionally come across my ideas, I take this opportunity to return to the beginning of the story of this BLOG... why it exists... really, why I exist. And so I resubmit my poem (and my first entry)... awaken us.
awaken us… Lord
awaken us from our slumber
too long have we slept.
too long have we looked upon a darkened, dieing, hopeless world and lazily looked to the horizon for Your coming… or was that our T.V. set?
Awaken us Lord to the hunger that is within.
Stir your children of light from their comfortable seats… that we would know the feeling of Your armor again… the feeling of your sword.
Fan the fire of passion for Your Name… Your Fame… that we might feel the coursing fire flooding through our souls… like rivers… like springs of life.
Let us sleep no longer!
Let us waken from the night in search of our Beloved.
Let us throw ourselves against the gates of injustice… the gates of poverty… the gates of darkness… the gates of hell. Until we can no longer stand AND YET we stand!
AWAKEN US LORD!
Move us to the edges… gather us to the corners… take us OUTSIDE THE CAMP…
AWAKEN US LORD!
Awaken hearts that are broken for the broken hearted. Lives that are lived for the lost.
AWAKEN US LORD!
The night is far gone; the day is at hand.
Even so. Amen.
