8/10 Epic Poem: Breaking Praise

Hat tip to Breaking Bad

Today I will not fear
To take
A break

It’s not enough
To sit in a pew
Hear wise old men
Talk about You

When our poor hearts
Are crippled and bent
Failing to live
The life You had meant

To hear Your voice
And feel Your touch
Would change our life
Could do so much

Lord break our service
Trash our old Laws
Let Your compassion
Drown out our flaws

You crave our freedom
You see our pain
You came to save us
Please, come again!

Don’t leave us stranded
In dusty old hour
Touch us with healing
Reveal Your power

This is the season
Of favor for all
Open my ears up
So I hear Your call

Then I will praise You
No matter the cost
Whether in churches
Or amidst the lost

This is the breakthrough
We’ve been waiting for
Thanks for Your giving
But we need much more

Transform our worship
Break our hard hearts
Come claim Your kingdom
As I play my part

Til more than pavement
Shouts forth Your praise
Earth breaks to heaven
When Your name we raise

“On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years.
She was bent over and could not straighten up at all.
When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.”
Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.”‬‬

‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭10‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV
