new.., ..to, ..through, ..you..

May God the source of blessings bless you good.

And greater still, make you to be like him,

a source yourself to those around who could

be blessed by you without you growing dim.

Two choices seem to help me see more pass

out through me to the others round about;

some blessings bring more energy and "class"

when given up, they love to "get on out".

Choose these to give away. Look for this kind.

For your creator made you so to be.

It's like you can blame him. If you are blind,

you won't be painting watercolours, see!

But if he blesses you with sight, then see.

And if he gave you ears to hear with, hear!

The second choice is needful, that's that we

keep linked and looking to our source, who's near.

May God bless you, to be a blessing to

whoever you connect with on the way.

As he sent Jesus, so the Christ sent you

to be an outpost of his rule today..

This is his way of blessing that endures.

It is his way of sending out khesêd,

(the loyal love of faithfulness that cures

from evil that would dominate and shed

the blood of others rather than itself.)

But faithful loyal khesed love makes folk

not by a force of arms, creative wealth

makes people who give life, instead of choke*.
