Numbers 1-2. (boundaries)

The Lord commands a certain order.

For you to have a protective border.

So that we might advance

In a certain clear cut stance

Though different we’re all as one.

That we might get God’s purpose done.

Luke. 5:27-39 (dinner with sinner)

It might surprise you.

Despite what others do

That Jesus is with them

Treats as righteous men

For it is a new day

We see Jesus in a different way

Freedom to be really me.

People wonder at what they see

Wine from new skin does pour out.

Some wonder what it is all about

For they are in the past still.

But I know I’m in the Fathers will

Ps. 100 (creation)

Shout to Lord there is no doubt

That is what the whole world’s about.

James 3-5 (influence)

To control what you say.

When blessed or when not okay.

Like a ship with a rudder.

Words control each other

What you say is important too

For it can damage those around you

But in God you can become wise.

When you say all God desires.

In him you will mature.

Your life become pure.

But to be friend of the world.

From Gods presence will be hurled.

Should be friendly with those.

Who the world do oppose.

You will endure to the end.

Wherever God may send.

Pray for each other.

When in a teal bother.

Confess and restore.

Relationships as before.

Lk 5:12-26. ((authority)

Is right here amongst us.

Though healed of leprosy.

When forgiven of blame.

I can be healed in his name.

To leap up and to praise.

When we see Gods ways.

Ps. 96. (creator)

James. 1-2. (integrity}

Faith that will endure.

Is shown to be pure.

In actions as well.

As what they like to tell.

Even as they learn to be wise.

The things of world despise.

For things you get involved in.

Can lead to deadly sin.

You think your God is here.

He actually is nowhere near.

Pride has gone to your head.

Yourfaith in God is dead.

True religion is this.

To show the love that’s His.

Lk. 5:1-11 (seashore encounter)

While in work I’m focused on.

Jesus came wandering along.

I listened to all he said.

So I answered to his call.

When he said I will do

What seems impossible to you

Instead of a fisherman

You now will fill a different bin.

Ps. 91 (protected)

In this amazing psalm.

All you need do is call on me.

To have complete victory.

Prov. 3:3-4

Never let goodness and kindness leave you

Then God will bless everything you do.

God knows all things.

He destroys then he brings.

Proud men to then rule.

Who think they are so cool.

But their time comes too.

When judgement falls due.

Because the world they annoy.

Determines to them destroy

Then the time will finally come.

When no kingdom has won.

And God reigns supreme.

And we are living the dream.

All those things our world sought .

Have come to be absolutely naught

As we come worship him

Who always was going to win

Lk. 4:31-44 ( Jesus heals)

Just then to my world comes.

Jesus healing the hurting ones.

Amazed were all those.

People that he now chose.

To come and be healed.

Of their fate that seemed sealed.

This was his good news.

So we didn’t receive our dues.

Healing could now come

For just anyone.

Now we plead with Jesus.

Stay right here just with us.

But he says I must go.

So others also will know.

And might be won.

To Gods kingdom.

Ps. 89:38-52 (rejected)

No longer am supreme

Me worship and praise you.

In everything that I still do.

When I saw how holy he was.

I was completely at a loss.

For l knew our evil ways.

All we had done in my days.

He said you are a favoured one.

Despite all that has been done.

Then in a vision Daniel saw.

The future he could not ignore.

The fight is in heaven and on earth

For us to be given a new birth.

A place where we can be

With our God who is holy

What a battle we are caught up in.

As heaven defeats this world of sin.

Lk. 5:14-30 ( Jesus in Nazareth).

When Jesus comes to my town.

I see Gods has now come down.

It is not what they expect.

For they have no respect.

They had known him once before.

Refuse to accept or believe.

Therefore will not receive.

For it seems to them so odd.

That now the goodness of God.

And the Jesus people now see

Through the likes of little old me.

Ps. 89:15-37 (walking in the light)

How happy I now am.

Though just an ordinary man.

For even as l recall

He gives protection for us all.

Through the mighty one.

Yet leaders refuse to listen.

And I seem stuck in prison.
