UPON THIS ROCK

Upon a willing heart would I pour;
My passion to fuel his strength;
My power to supplant his weakness;
And My grace to complete his inadequacy

Upon a loving heart will I pour;
A flooding of blessings to be shared among the brethren.
Extending my hands to lift him to greater heights.
Showing him the sight of my glory.
For I am He who delights in a loving heart.

Upon the obedient will I provide;
My blessings to supply his needs;
My wisdom to lead him aright;
My cloud of fire to guide him on the course to destiny;
My chariots of fire to convey him when he breathes his last;
My lions to make a meal of them them who lie in wait to devour him.

Upon this rock, He builds His church.
An unwavering mind that trusts at all turn.
A mind driven by the burden of advancing the truth.
A heart highly receptive to the pain of others and eyes perceptive to unspoken messages hidden underneath the foundations of the make up.

Upon this rock, He built.
A set of men who kept on burning till the end.
A set of homes wherein the stranger 'humility' had displaced the original occupants 'pride'
A set of ears always sensitive to listen after the fire and thunder; and eyes very alert to spot out little vines that tried to spoil the vine.
A set of legs that never felt too comfortable in places of assignment.

Upon this empty script, He wrote in His blood.
I LOVE YOU.
I HAVE COME THAT YOU MAY LIVE AND LIVE ETERNALLY.
