After the Prophet & Emerging

AFTER THE PROPHET

We all know the shout-

Thundering and enlightening,

But when at last it is silent

And should there be few then 

Who can hear the roar of God

Even so

May it be that our ears

Long opened by the thunder

Will hear the faintest Godbreath

And the church will turn

At the word of the Lord

As easily as a ship in a mid ocean gale

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                 EMERGING

There’s a wind blowing in from the east

Blowing in questions that we never dared ask

There’s a wind blowing in from the east

Blowing in answers that tear up the mask

Revealing the man we can never tame

The lionmanlamb revealing our name
