Postcard for the Weary World

Three a.m. and Once Again

Someone’s been Shot

More Children Abandoned

A Woman Robbed of Innocence

Or a Husband’s Family Lost

The World It Turns, By Tomorrow They’ll Be Forgot

Just Reminds Me That I’m So Small

Trying to Turn This World from the Path it is On

Or Get My Own Foot Off the Gas and Make a Turn

He's Here

From The Fading Hold on Frazzled Ropes

From The Secret Rooms of Broken Homes

From the Plans to Save Our Skins and Souls

From Maps We Draw For Our Own Way Home

From Sudden Stops, The Dead End Roads

When We've Lost His Way Again

My Strength For Hanging On

And Reasons For Trying At All

Are Wearing Thin

And Drawing to and End

The Rope is Frayed and All the Silver Lining Gone

I Hear a Knocking on My Bolted Door

And He Appears

Gentle Nail Scarred Hands yet Burning Eyes Without Fear

Wraps Me In His Carpenter’s Arms

And Shows Me Somewhere Beautiful

Seems So Far From Here

But it’s the Same Old World, if Only I'll Answer His Call

Him Living In Me

We Can Build It Back Again

Giving Me Gentle Hands yet Burning Eyes Without Fear

The End of My Plan To Change It All On My Own

It’s Where He’ll Begin

To Build It Back Again

Not from Outside He's Had to Live Within

To the World He Intended Us to Live

Amen He’s Here

Amen He’s Here

Yeshua Comes

And I Have No Doubt and I Have No Fear

Put a Sign Out for the Weary World

Amen He’s Here

Prayer for For the Weary World

Elohim The Judge of All

We ask Your Forgiveness for our Apathy

We ask Your Forgiveness for our Silence

We ask Your Forgiveness for using all we have only for Ourselves

We ask your Forgiveness for believing we could Fix this all on our Own

We intercede for our Politicians and Lawmakers

Those who have the Power of the Pen

We intercede for our Police and our Judges and Military

Those who have the Power of the Sword

We intercede for our Parents and Siblings and Friends

Those who have the Power of Presence

We intercede for Ourselves and our Churches, Synagogues and Houses of Worship

Those who have the Power of Prayer

We ask for both Justice and Mercy

Those who have one without the other tear down the World

We ask for both Justice and Mercy

Because Tikkun Olam, the Repairing of the World

Requires one to become the Bricks and one to become the Mortar

For all our Ancestor’s and our Neighbor’s Broken Places

We ask you to use our Hands and our Mouths and our Feet

Yeshua we ask, that it’s us that you work Through

Yeshua we ask when it’s Done

We remember that it’s You they should Glorify and You First that they should Love.

“ Then they will answer and say, ‘Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see. Grant atonement for Your people Israel whom You have redeemed, ADONAI, 

and do not put innocent blood on Your people Israel.’ 

Then atonement will be granted to them for the blood.”

Deuteronomy 21:7

COSTS OF CURE

Man there is a problem here

We can see it on the news

We’ve got therapy for the symptoms

But no one wants to pay the costs of cure

Costs us more than power

Some baby’s mommy is going to have to be supported so she can stay at home

Cost us more than dollars

Some son’s father is going to have to be respected enough to stick around to watch him grow

Cost us our good time some-times

Some girl would have to throw away Cosmo and keep her heart-box closed

Cost us our idea of what makes a man a man

Set down your reckless guns and take a breath, take a stand

There is no escape

From this madness that has spread

You can buy it all

You can make a donation but that won’t buy a lasting salvation

You can buy a diet pill- every bottle guarantees a pound lost equals an ounce of love

You can buy a t-shirt- and with its logo a place in the world

You can buy your happiness right now if you just charge it to your credit card

But there is no easy answer for this infected nation

And there was no dollar printed that is good enough

Cash is cold-alone and again the belly grows, new logos won’t fill the hole

You can sell and buy these lies but you’re still the same when markets closed its door

Man there is a problem here

We can see it on the news

We’ve got therapy for the symptoms

But no one wants to pay for the cure

Costs us more than lovers

Somebody’s parents are going to have to work it through

Cost us more than viewing hours

Somebody needs to get off the couch and watch the sky turn blue

Cost us our so called good-life some times

Someone would have to set down a dollar to hold a son or a daughter

Cost us our idea of what makes a woman beautiful

Set down your make-up and bikini’s, just stand by your man and love your children

But there is no easy answer for this infected nation

And there was no dollar printed that is good enough

Cash is cold-alone and again the belly grows, new logos won’t fill the hole

You can sell and buy these lies but you’re still the same when markets closed its door

Man there is a problem here

We can see it on the news

We’ve got therapy for the symptoms

But no one wants to pay the cost of cure

But no one wants to pay the costs of cure

Prayer for Those Paying the Costs of Cure

King of Kings

We invite you to Save our Nation from Itself

We ask you to take away whatever it Takes

Before we have bought and sold everything that is Precious

We ask that you remove our Power

Before we lead anymore of the World Astray

We ask that you change our Hearts

Before we witness the collapse of our House of Cards

We ask that you return the Fathers Lead to serve the Children

We ask that you bring the Mothers Love back to Heal the Home

We ask that you Revive the Hope of the Youth and teach them all that we did Not

We ask that you act quickly in these Lives

Before this Generation is entirely too far Gone

“Lo, everyone who thirsts, come to the water,

and you who have no money, come, buy and eat.

Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost!

Why do you spend money for what is not bread?

Your wages for what does not satisfy?

Listen diligently to Me, and eat what is good,

and delight yourself in abundance.

Incline your ear and come to Me.

Listen, so that your soul may live.

I will make an everlasting covenant with you,

the trustworthy loyalty to David.

Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples,

a leader and commander for the peoples.

Behold, you will summon a nation you do not know,

and a nation that did not know you will run to you,

because of Adonai your God and the Holy One of Israel,

for He has glorified you.”

Seek Adonai while He may be found,

call on Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way,

and the unrighteous one his thoughts,

let him return to Adonai, so He may have compassion on him,

and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

nor are your ways My ways.”

It is a declaration of Adonai.

“For as the heavens are higher than earth,

so are My ways higher than your ways,

and My thoughts than your thoughts.”

Isaiah 55:1-9

Travelers

The Years will stretch on like Winter that never Thaws

I could have told you long ago but you would never set foot out of the Door

The Pain and the Persistence and the Adventure would have all been Lost

This Life will leave you with a body full of Scars

I could have told you long ago but you would never put your Heart into it or in the Show

The Fierceness and the Fire in your eyes and the Battle for a better world would have all been Lost

But you won’t be Travelling alone

Home is Far my Son

But you won’t lack for a place at the Table so go

Be Young and be Bold

Be on Fire when the World Grows Cold

My Son even if you have no Hand to Hold

You won’t be walking this Lonely Road All Alone

You won’t be walking this Lonely Road All Alone

Cause I’ve got Travelers You haven’t even Met

Cause I’ve got Places You didn’t even Plan

Cause I’ve got you Fellow Travelers

Cause I’m setting them down from the Clouds along your Path

Cause I’ve got Hands big enough to Straighten the Curves in the Road Ahead

Cause I’ve got you Fellow Travelers

Cause I’m setting them down from the Clouds along your Path

But you won’t be Travelling alone

Home is Far my Son

But you won’t lack for a place at the Table so go

Be Young and be Bold

Be on Fire when the World Grows Cold

My Son even if you have no Hand to Hold

You won’t be walking this Lonely Road All Alone

You won’t be walking this Lonely Road All Alone

Prayer for Travelers

Creator of our Journeys

We come to Thank You for not giving us all the Answers

Cause we would have lost our courage and with our courage gone lost our chance to Win

We come to Thank You for not showing us the dangers around the Bend

Cause we would have turned back when the air got Thin

We come to Thank You for giving us a GPS and not just a Map

Cause we get lost when we try too hard to see Ahead

Cause we need to know the borders of where our paths begin and End

We come to Thank You for these Travelers

Cause without them we would fall into these pits and never find a helping Hand

We Thank You for this Journey

We Thank You for these Travelers that you Send
