yet to be sung (Am, C, F)

i tilt my head back
look way way up
i have to close close close
my eyes
a little smile escapes
can't keep it straight
all around is bathed
in your bright
how does so much
glory
fit inside my
little story?

in quietness and trust (isaiah 30:15)

today at church 

i worshipped God without singing

because i have laryngitis and

cannot sing

i closed my eyes

i whispered ragged prayers

i put out my hands

i listened and looked up

sky blue sky

God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone

      but also on the trees,

                               and in the flowers,

                                                            and clouds,

                                                                              and stars.

{Martin Luther King, Jr.}

a rainbow today

"I have set my rainbow in the clouds 

and it will be the sign of the covenant 

between me and the earth."

Genesis 9.13

Colossians 3:1-4

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, 

set your hearts on things above, 

where Christ is seated 

at the right hand of God. 

Set your minds on things above, 

not on earthly things. 

For you died,

           and your life is now hidden 

with Christ in God. 

When Christ, 

who is your life, 

appears, 

then you also will appear with him in glory.
