Christ’s Possible Dream – Re - Vised (2 Timothy 1:12b - (translation error corrected))

What would happen if I took You at Your word, O Lord,
     And did eight hours –
          And if that were the Way
               You’d had in mind for me
                     To do the things You've held
                         As central to my life?

What would happen if I took You at Your word, O Lord –
     Believed You –
          That there was now a place
               For me to move on daily with my life
                        Without regard
                             To all the troubles
                                  Which impact each day?

What would happen
     If the right side of my brain,
          And what remains of left,
               Enabled me to walk with You, O Lord,
                    Down paths of life,
                         Where days and nights were filled with joy
                              And we could live our lives
                                   In peace and harmony.

What would happen Lord, if You were right –
         And all this walk
              Of struggle
                   And of hardship, these past years,
                        Were just as author of Ecclesiastes said –
                             A puff of wind,
                                  A gentle breeze,
                                       Which wafts now through my window
                                             In the stillness
                                                  Of these early morning hours?

What if problem was,
     I'd still not grasped with firmness
          All the beauty of this life,
               From what was really
                    Just my earthly view,
                         My focus,
                              And my way of doing life?

What if Kingdom Layer
    Is all I'll ever need
           For such perspective –
                Yet enough to offer distance
                     And a hope
                          To all of life around –
                               Not as my thought,
                                    But from Your Word, O Lord,
                                         And poured out daily
                                              Through the lens
                                                   Of how You view the world
                                                       From here?

What if all I really need to live
     And work, is life on Kingdom Layer –
          Yet from this layer,
               (Where folks can choose to live,
                    If they would choose),
                          I've point of view
                               Beyond the Bondar point of view –
                                    Affected
                                         And affecting
                                              All she sees
                                                   And does
                                                          Because of where she’s been –

For – I'm still here?
