Christ’s Possible Dream – The Shift From From “As” To “And” (John 4:50)
What would happen if I took You at Your word, O Lord,
And did eight hours
And if that were The Way
You’d opened up for me
To do the things which lie
As central to my life?What would happen if I took You at Your word, O Lord –
Believed You –
That there was now a way
For me to move on daily with my life
Without regard
To all the troubles
Which impact these days?What would happen
If the right side of my brain,
To use that metaphor,
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, all these 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 had not grasped with firmness
All the beauty of this life,
From what was really
Just my point of view,
My focus,
And my way of doing life?What if Echoland
Was really all there was
To my perspective –
Yet enough to offer distance
And a hope
To all of life around –
Not through my brain,
But through Your Word, O Lord,
And poured out daily
Through the lens
Of how I view the world
Through You?What if all that really is for me
Is just a simple way of seeing life –
Yet from that way,
(Which others think they know,
Yet do not know),
A point of view –
Like Bobby Bondar’s point of view –
Affected
And affecting
All she sees
And does
Because of where she’s been?navigation
