holding on to my son-ship, living as a son joining in with his father's work..
(Owning it, instead of Earning it)
Well, will I live “in Christ” the true human?
In 30 years he learnt, and he obeyed
the “dad” and “mum” whom God had chosen him,
then cared for fatherless, and widows made
when men were killed by leaders who had pow’r,
as Herod did at Jesus birth they say.
He knew this general place, and knew the hour.
Yeshua paid, and helped who lost their way,
because already he had seen himself
a living son - within his father's world -
of God who made us (from his Earth), his wealth
we are, his treasure, his children thus curled
in this womb-world; we're meant to “go out from
it” into bigger worlds much less constrained.
To live “in Christ” 's to view all God's Kingdom
as all this realm, to be under his reign!
- and keep oneself from being corrupted
(with this old world's idolatry and ways
that keep our “walk with God” interrupted),
determined to make peace, to see God's face!
And I choose now to live in this new way
kept for the life his new creation brings:
denying self and my own cross to take
up, following the footsteps of our king's
life. Take his spirit, listen to his prompts
to thoughtful faithfulness, & love, & hope,
responsibility, & boldness plomps
me right “in Christ”, and I'm glad he can cope!
