3/5 IAM: Full-filled (Cityscape 1 of 12)
The city deserved to fall / Because it was built on lies / Oppression / Division / Hypocrisy // Yet it was beautiful / (If you didn’t look too closely)
-
3/4 IAM: Grievously Praising (Riverside 5 of 5)
The Gardens are meant / To equip us / To remind us / To heal us / So that we dare Cross Over…
-
3/3 IAM: Opening Up (Riverside 4 of 5)
Jesus yanks the line / So hard and fast / He rips the core of the Apple / Right out of its body // We go sailing over the shoreline / In a beautiful wide arc / Scattering seeds / Thirty / Sixty / A hundredfold…
-
3/2 IAM: Un-Self-Sabotaging (Riverside 3 of 5)
He flicks me out of the water / From the shore filled with huddled masses / Yearning to be free / Though they mask it with incessant bickering…
-
3/1 IAM: Over My Head (Riverside 2 of 5)
Then I realize / He isn’t floating / Or treading water / Or sinking // But hovering / Just below / (rather than above) / The surface // Why does that feel more unnatural than merely flying?
-
2/29 IAM: Stepping Out (Riverside 1 of 5)
Our destiny / It may be the people we need to serve / Or the hope of our own salvation / Probably both / But it only works if we all cross over together…
-
2/28 IAM: Rewarded
I look TO Jesus. / “Why aren’t they laying them at **Your** feet?” / He winks / “They can’t see me. They only hear me. But they can see you…”
-
2/27 IAM: Well-Nourished (Well-Borne 5/5)
I stand in the heart of darkness / With the darkest of hearts / And let their evil osmotically pull / The grace of God from me // Absorbing their sins / Filling them with Hope…
-
2/26 IAM: Well-Served (Well-Borne 4/5)
I see a well / Capped / To contain the raging fire within / That is somehow also living water // I look for Jesus. / He looks at me / And smiles / “Will you open the gate?”
-
2/25 IAM: Well-Understood (Well-Borne 3/5)
I trip over the edge of something / And fall into emptiness / I am tempted to curse / But instead… / I look for Jesus.
-
2/24 IAM: Well-Versed (Well-Borne 2/5)
This is insane / I have no idea where I am / What kind of tunnel this is / How far away He is // But He knows…
-
2/23 IAM: Well-Founded (Well-Borne 1/5)
I presume I am being sent to look for something / But I have forgotten what // Either they really trust me / Or I am the most expendable…
-
2/22 IAM: Passing Time
I wonder / If I need to help Him / By pointing out things / In His blind spot
-
2/20 IAM: Present
And when I see Him / I become happy too // Why didn’t I do this sooner? // Why don’t I do this always? //
-
2/20 IAM: O-So-Positive
I ask: why doesn’t everyone receive from you? / Why do they have to go through me? / I am such a poor Reflection / I weep
-
1/19 IAM: Remembering to Call
I look for Jesus. / I don’t see Him. / But I see a phone / On the table next to me…
-
2/18 IAM: Drunk with Joy (War of The Dance, Part 3 of 3)
Maybe I’m just deluded / I could be throwing away my reputation / My identity / Everything I spent my life building // My company will fire me / My family disown me / My friends despise me / (Again)
-
2/17 IAM: Song-Strong (War of The Dance, Part 2 of 3)
The song Jesus is playing on His trumpet / Amidst the battlefield of life / Not a battle cry / Not reveille / A love song…
-
2/16 IAM: Praise-Angry (War of The Dance, Part 1 of 3)
Our forces are scattered / Our leaders incompetent / Supplies unreliable / Mission vital but unclear // It is hell…
-
2/15 IAM: Re-Assembled
I am… a crowd of midgets / Deeply angry / Superficially happy // We appear calm and peaceful / As long as we keep our distance…
Radically Happy
