A New Covenant

In the light of Jesus’ grace, we find, 
New ways of thinking, hearts aligned. 
The old law’s structures cannot contain, 
The truth and love that now remain.

Let go of habits, traditions past, 
Embrace the Spirit’s work so vast. 
Our journey’s one of constant change, 
Renewal’s call, a vast exchange.

Not rituals, but hearts sincere, 
In God’s embrace, we draw near. 
Old garments tear with patches new, 
So must our spirits, fresh and true.

Be flexible, let Spirit lead, 
In new insights, our souls are freed. 
With joy and gratitude, we stand, 
In Jesus’ love, a promised land.

Though times of fasting, tears may flow, 
Celebrate the grace we know. 
Live out our faith with hearts transformed, 
In Jesus’ life, our souls are warmed.

Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
