Have you dipped your hand in the dish?
Knowing the one who shared your dish would betray you?
Lovingly, forgivingly looking into the eyes so lacking light?
Resurrection is here
The price paid for your spirit, soul and bodies
The greatest price ever paid
Cars covered in diamonds in Dubai
Cannot compare with one drop of the blood shed for you
Silver and gold have I none
What I do possess? I give to you
Rise, take your bed and walk
Go sin no more
Follow me
Pick up your cross, die daily to your selfish desires
I will set you free
Spirit to spirit
Eternity awaits
LOVE NEVER FAILS
Everything to gain
You priceless treasures
Broken vessels of lights
Living stones
Jars of flesh that carry the one who made the cosmos.
Join me
What do you have to lose?
Loss, death, pain, grief, sorrow, doubt…
Father melt the stoney heart
Blanket your broken warriors with wisdom, revelation and joy.
You too can arise. I love you… YWH
