GIMME DAT!

Snippet
Look at Christ, my dear friend: His life was divine through and through, full of self-denial, and He did everything for mankind, finding His satisfaction and His delight in the dissolution of His material being. Mikhail Bakunin   
Scripture
Oh,taste and see that the Lord is good:
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Psalms 34:8 NKJV
Song

You can give me dat-- fresh kicks
Gimme dat
Vest with your blessin' Lord I'm desperate
You gave me your life
So I look forward to my exit
I used to be a punk-kid
Used to wanna run, with
Dudes dat wanna hunt that
Turned our ones into hundreds
Used to run the blunt to be blunt
I wanted trees just to alter my mind
Now I find im wantin' Jesus
Used to run and roll mad deep with the street clique
Corner holdin' heat on the low like a secret
God's spirit penetrated my soul on a sneak tip
Took control now I'm in his floor like a leaflet
Gimme dat fire
Gimme dat flame
Gimme dat fresh wind
Gimme dat rain
Gimme dat freedom
You can have the chains
Gimme dat God who can gimme all things

I know you got riches

Your life is a big party
You're partyin' all night
You don't mind not knowin' Christ
In your mind dat's alright
You might not get this now
But you're kind of a Saul type
You keep with the trends
Cool's your middle name
On your pants you got a chain
The juice like Lil' Wayne
You're tattooed in a Benz
Maybe you're 
Ladies, you drivin' crazy
Nothin's crazier than your frame!
(This is a shame!)
It's the age and I'm game
To be an agent of change
And at age, it's like a page in a flame
Just smoke, just mirrors, just vapor is plain
You see, a Holy God is not one of your favorite things
I was just like you,
But God moved on a fellow
Gave me good news
Dat I could use on the ghetto
Maybe it's you who wants a
U-turn to settle
You dead or you do??
I'll tell you it's been settled
Gimme dat fire
Gimme dat flame
Gimme dat fresh wind
Gimme dat rain
Gimme dat freedom
You can have the chains
Gimme dat God who can gimme all things
Gimme dat fire, flame
Gimme dat fresh wind

You can have the chains
Gimme dat God who can gimme all things
So you got platinum?
We got our Lord
If we want, we could ask him
But he's our reward
Gotta be perfect
It can't be three out of four
If you're sick of fallin' short
Then he got a cure
Gimme dat cure, dat door, dat hero
Gimme dat grace dat never chased the dinero
How much glory should you give your boy? Zero
That would cause beef with the Lamb like a Gyro
Gimme dat day reaches you over shinin'
Truth over rhymin'
Virtue over diamonds
Gimme some change
Sometimes I do need the dough
Gimme some pain
Somethin' -- I do need to grow
Gimme what I won't ask for
Don't gimme what I seek
When I creep, I'm a sheep
Gimme your pasture
Gimme life
Just like you intended
It's like to see you raise the day you ascended

Dat's the joy of God
And his poeple
In his world
On his terms
SHOUTOUT TO PASTOR E!

EARTH

Snippet
Teach us to walk the soft earth as relatives.
To all that live sweeten our hearts and fill
us with light.  Give us the strength to understand
And eyes to see.  Help us for without you
We are nothing.  Hetchetu Aloh!
So it is forever!  Black Elk  When the Tree Flowered By John G
 Niehardt

Scripture
The voice of the Lord makes the barren wilderness quake;
 the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
 The voice of the Lord twists mighty oaks
 and strips the forests bare.
In his Temple everyone shouts, “Glory!”
The Lord rules over the floodwaters.
 The Lord reigns as king forever.
 The Lord gives his people strength.
 The Lord blesses them with peace. Psalms 29:8-11
Song
The  Earth is Yours
Gungor
http://youtu.be/r4EPnM62O8A

Your voice it thunders
The oaks start twisting
The forest sounds with cedars breaking
The waters see You and start their writhing
From the depths a song is rising

Now it’s rising from the ground

Holy, Holy
Holy, Holy Lord the earth is Yours and singing
Holy, Holy
Holy, Holy Lord
The earth is Yours
The earth is Yours

Your voice it thunders
The ground is shaking
The might mountains now are trembling
Creation sees You
And starts composing
The fields and trees they start rejoicing.

Now it’s rising from the ground

Now it’s rising from the ground
It’s rising from the ground
Hear us crying out
Hear us crying out

Sentence Prayer
Creator and Savior, we have:
exploited earth for our selfish ends
turned our backs on the cycles of life
and forgotten we are your stewards.
Now soils become barren
Air and water become unclean
Species disappear,
and humans are diminished.
In penitence we come to you.
Silence
God, have mercy
 Christ, have mercy
Leader God, have mercy.

STEP BY STEP

Snippet

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Scripture

This is what the Lord says:
“Stand at the crossroads and look;
    ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
    and you will find rest for your souls. Jeremiah 6:16

Song
Step by Step
Rich Mullins

Sometimes the night was beautiful
Sometimes the sky was so far away
Sometimes it seemed to stoop so close
You could touch it but your heart would break
Sometimes the morning came too soon
Sometimes the day could be so hot
There was so much work left to do
But so much You'd already done
CHORUS:
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days
Sometimes I think of Abraham
How one star he saw had been lit for me
He was a stranger in this land
And I am that, no less than he
And on this road to righteousness
Sometimes the climb can be so steep
I may falter in my steps
But never beyond Your reach
CHORUS
And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days
(Sometimes the night was beautiful)
And I will follow You all of my days

Sentence Prayer
Father;
Bring me home rejoicing
At the wonders of your love

I have experienced!  Amen

PIERCINGS

Snippet

“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

Scripture

But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 1 Timothy 6:6-10 NIV

Song
DUST TO DUST
WOLVES AT GATE
http://youtu.be/eiIFO54jJZA

What will you gain?
What will you earn?
What is your claim?
From dust we come
And dust we return.
If I loved wealth
I'd find the root of evil.
If I lust for power
I'd lose my soul.
If I sought fame
I'd be a thief
Of all Your Honor
Honor, Glory, and Praise.
Hollow and hopeless and cold
Is value in fame and in gold.
The truest of treasures
Is to be found within His fold.
Oh how lost I would be
If my faith unwound.
(And I lost the Lord)
Oh how empty my soul
Would ever be found.
(If I gained the world)
If you're seeking after treasures
Designed by human hands
You'll come and find to realize
Your soul it demands.
If I loved wealth
I'd find the root of evil.
If I lust for power
I'd lose my soul.
If I sought fame
I'd be a thief
Of all Your Honor
Honor, Glory, and Praise.
What is your wealth?
What is your fame?
What is your goal?
If you gain the world
But lose your soul?
Oh how lost I would be
If my faith unwound.
(And I lost the Lord)
Oh how empty my soul
Would ever be found.
(If I gained the world)
The joy in knowing
I'm blood bought by the King.
My truest treasure is
I'll know my King!
Know my King!

Sentence Prayer


“Dear God, please deliver me from the sin of greed—constantly wanting more of what I don’t need. Instead, help me to be a giver to others and not just a taker from them. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus’ name, amen.” http://www.actsweb.org/articles/article.php?i=1682&d=2&c=13

LEAD

Snippet

A part of us feels as if something is spiritually wrong with us when we experience circumstantial uncertainty.  But that is precisely what Jesus promised us when we are born of the Spirit and start following him. Most of us will have no idea where we are going most of the time. But circumstantial uncertainty also goes be another name adventure.  Wild Goose Chase Mark Batterson Pg 2

Scripture
Thus says the Lord,
who makes a way in the sea,
a path in the mighty waters, Isaiah 43:16 NRSV

Song
You Lead Jamie Grace
http://youtu.be/JFmSzL2ppvg

I've got waves that are tossin' me,
Crashin' all over my beliefs,
And in all sincerity, Lord,
I wanna be yours,
So pull me out of this mess I'm in,
Cause I know I'm wanderin'
Lead my soul back home again,
I've always been yours,
And this world may push, may pull,
But your love it never fails,
You lead, I'll follow, Your hands hold
my tomorrow,
Your grip, Your grace, You know the way,
You guide me tenderly,
When you lead, I'll follow,
Just light the way and I'll go,
Cause I know what you got for me is more
than I can see,
So lead me on, on, on and on,
Just lead me on, on, on and on,
As a child I heard your voice,
But as a girl I made my choice,
There is no other way for me,
I'm devoted to you,
You're my peace on the heavy days,
You're the warmth of an autumn blaze,
Your love carries me away,
And it's never too soon, no...
And this world may push, may pull,
But your mercy never fails,
You lead, I'll follow, Your hands hold my tomorrow,
Your grip, Your grace, You know the way,
You guide me tenderly, yeah,
When you lead, I'll follow,
Just light the way and I'll go,
Cause I know what you got for me is more
than I can see,
So lead me on, on, on and on,
Just lead me on, on, on and on,
Sometimes when I wake up, I don't wanna rise up, Out of my bed, too many thoughts in my head,
Don't wanna be who I used to be,
Gonna take the back seat and let you lead,
And I...
Need to stop, need to stop,
Cause I'm going too fast,
And I...
Know my God is still God, And you got my back,
You lead, I'll follow, Your hands hold my tomorrow,
Your grip, Your grace, You know the way,
You guide me tenderly, yeah,
When you lead, I'll follow,
Just light the way and I'll go,
Cause I know what you got for me is more then I can
see, So lead me on...
Lead me on...
And I...
Need to stop, need to stop,
Cause I'm going too fast,
And I...
Know my God is still God, And you got my back,
You got my back,
I know ya got me, I know ya got me,
I know ya got me, Lead me on...
You Lead I follow Jamie Grace

Sentence Prayer

Almighty God;
Lead on, may I follow your Glory
In the darkest night
Lead, on may I follow in the oppressive
Heat of life and find shade in your love.

Amen

AGNUS DEI

Snippet

Until then, believers can, through their faith in God, live 
under God’s reign, because the kingdom takes shape 
everywhere that people allow the action of Jesus Christ
-which is the action of God-who-reigns-to take place 
through them. 
To Act According to the Gospel 
by Xanier Leon Dufour Hendrickson publishing 2005 pg 13

Scripture

Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the 
roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, 
shouting:
“Hallelujah!
For our Lord God Almighty reigns.
Let us rejoice and be glad
and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready. Revelation 19:6,7

the enemies of God’s reign in my life.
