“Kingdom Authority” [#20,&#9 again] (Matt7:28-29)

The loop, indeed – in Jesus’ name
We come and go – it’s not the same
As work before, what e’er we do;
Here Jesus worked like me and you.

They sensed not Him but something more,
As in our work more than before;
We’re sent from Kingdom in His name,
As Christ was too, in ways the same.

“Authority”? It comes from God;
“Permission”? That’s from man – seems odd,
But that’s how freedom is maintained;
It’s been that way since Adam came –

Out of the garden – here to work;
He left – for he was driven out,
Which is the best that we can do
As mankind, “Looking out for you” –

We give “permissions” all the time,
But then we hear some thing sublime
Behind which stands “authority”,
As, “In Christ’s name”, and then we see –

There’s more than “All the best to you”;
We see and hear what You can do,
And we are moved from earth, above –
Are drawn to ponder on Your love.
