And He told His disciples
That a boat should stand ready for Him
Because of the crowd. Mark 3:9 (NASB)

The Voyage

Everybody crowded close
Seeking a touch… healing
Driving words…ready a boat
An escape
Pressed on all sides
Jesus drew away

Moving
Above the deep
Swiftly leaving
Hidden away
Silently waiting
Preparation time

Chosen to lead
Appointed to speak
He makes us
Ready to be planted
The courageous and strong
Side by side

Intimacy with God
His perfection close
Mirrored understanding
Unconditional love
Never ending grace
Mountains of mercy

Having been with God
We are sustained
The least of these
Summoned and sent out
Circle of Hope
Ever be

Take a risk
Break the silence
Speak truth
And bring change
Freedom for the enslaved
Imperfect leading imperfect

Climb in the boat …do battle for Jesus
Your voyage
