life: acoustic & amplified

poetry, quotes & thoughts about life

To John and Dara

It’s not just that you found me
at the foot of the cross
But that you reached out and
joined me there
with Christ

All one

It’s not just that you met my real physical need
You left me with so much more than dollars
You bound my wounds with your prayers
and You became my neighbor

All One

It’s not just that you took the time to ask why I cried
You made my heart glad and dried my tears
with the balm of your truth
You bound us together
with your understanding and your vulnerabilities

All one

It’s not that we spoke
but that you spoke to me first
You took the initiative
to reach out
to dare
to ask
to enter into community
to live dangerously
to get messy and personal
with me

All one

It’s so much more than
just a few moments of time that you have given me
You have given me a most precious gift
Yourselves
Our spirits
poured out
connected
together

All one
at the foot of the cross
