The Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty,
The one who made the heavens, the stars and the earth,
The one who spoke his light into the darkness,
The one who made life by his breath and his word,
The one who bought all things into existence,
Who watches over Sparrows and clothes the flowers of the field,
I believe in the one who sustains the tiny and the mighty,
I'm down on my knees,
My spirit yields.

I believe.

Yeah I believe in his love, his power and his glory,
I'm pursuing the pursuer, counting up the cost of his Kingdom's worth,
I believe in God, the father, Almighty,
I believe in the Creator of heaven and earth,
And I believe in Jesus Christ his only Son, Our Lord,
Come to us by Virgin birth,

Who being in very nature God,
Did not see it as something to be grasped,
He took on flesh, the very nature of a servant,
Serving our needs before we'd even asked

Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
God in very nature, and yet very God and very man,
Born in a humble stable to The Virgin Mary,
Born to do for us what we never can,

For my sins and yours, he Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
For my sin he was strung up and hung up, He was crucified,
The perfect sacrifice for Sin, it's all atoned for,
For this he came and he bled and he died,

I believe.

I believe.
He descended down to the dead,
His lifeless body laid in a rich man's tomb,
On the third day
The stone was rolled away,
He rose again,
Death could not defeat the one who sprang from the virgins womb,

I believe.

I believe;

He is seated at the right hand of the Father,
He took his place at his side, his work finished, he sat down,
He bears the name every tongue will confess,
Every knee shall bow before this throne and pay homage to this crown,

He will come again to judge the living and the dead,
Not in a stable but in the clouds, every eye will see.
Even those that pierced him, will look upon him,
Not humbled, not forsaken but glorified, as he shall ever be,

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The comforter, the enabler, the one just like Jesus,
My Guide and my friend,
I believe in his gifts and his work in my salvation,
A deposit in us guaranteeing that we are his belonging,
And will be, forever without end,

I believe in The Holy catholic Church,
The universal communion of saints, The lovers bride,
I believe in the forgiveness of sins, I believe in sin dealt with, paid for,
Not merely set aside.

I believe.

I believe these truth's are self evident, and eternal,
I believe these eternal truths are universal,
But more than that I believe the one who makes the universal personal,
I believe this is the play, not the rehearsal.

He came for me.

And now I believe in the resurrection of the body,
That if I should die, this won't be the end,
because I believe in life everlasting,
Life, love and glory forever,
and ever, and ever,
and
Amen

Precipice

I'm on the precipice,
Of all of this,
Lust and love,
And longing wish
Is,
Calling me to this
Abyss,

To dive,
And dine and die,
To fall with grace,
If not to fly,

And I don't want to ask why,
Or why not,
I want to see this,
See what it's got,
In store,
But what's more,
How far down is the floor,
 

I emerged,
From thickest bush,
Beset, clawing and straining for the open space between the branch,
Beyond my sight,
Into this,
This precipice,
And now I don't know,
What I wish.
 

I'm just going to stand here for a while.

Nirvana Carol verse #1 (Come as You are)

He came as a man,

As a friend,
As he wanted us to be
Took on flesh, served us all
In all humility

 

Late in time, behold him, come,
The choice is yours, don't be late,
Take him in,
He'll fill your soul,

 

Eternally, Eternally,
Eternally, Eternally

 

Come as you are, doused in mud,
As He knows you to be
You can mend, all your sin
As an old,

 

Memoria, memoria
Memoria, memoria

 

And I swear that we don't have a hope
No I don't have a hope
No I don't have a hope

,

Without Jesus, Without Jesus
Without Jesus, without Jesus,

So come, as you are, at Christmas time,

Like he came,

In all humility,

Lay it down, Bring your gift,

Bring yourself
To the foot of the tree
