IN Christ
IN our Hearts
The Bible bleeds
A living story of spiritual struggle
A living story of spiritual struggle
Filled with ancient tales told by people just like you and me
Struggling to see ourselves IN God
Struggling to see ourselves IN God
Struggling to live our lives IN Christ
Then struggling once again
to meld our sacred stories
to meld our sacred stories
with our daring deeds
all in the crucible of our Hearts
Yet to literalize these Bible stories
To make them either trivial or truer than our own trodding toes
Is to break trust with the hearts and voices of our ancestors
And lose the stories' soul as much as our own
To make them either trivial or truer than our own trodding toes
Is to break trust with the hearts and voices of our ancestors
And lose the stories' soul as much as our own
Objectifying God
Mystifying Christ
And jading our Hearts
Into thinking that stories on ink and paper are somehow more exacting
than the double sided pages of our own lives of faith and flesh
For in myth we boldly stand IN God
Yet in deed we make our move IN Christ
Thus in both we stitch the bravest and best binding of our Hearts.
