In Part -

ner-ship!

---

Give space within my life for God to act.

To make the partnership be real in me.

So go beyond the token stuff in fact.

And let God help, and then use eyes to see..

and ears to hear, or listen to the thoughts 

that come, ideas to build love and light.

True and honest, say only what’s caught

somehow within the web of what is “right” ..

That’s right relating, as I would be “done 

by” - keeping my own word to my own hurt!

And trust my “father” to bring joy to “son”,

and let his word to me hold weight, not blurt

out as religious piety to prop

up power structures, for some little man.

We’re talking of creative love’s unstop-

pab-le incessant work (since time began)

And work with all my might and mane to join

in, where I can - to make a difference here,

within the stuff where I can choose, what’s mine

to bring to table, or to make appear.

And treat the partnership, this covenant

that Jesus spoke about, as real and true.

And bounce on it, in fact (not just a rant)

to bring it all to being here in you.

And it might be quite diff’rent for some one

who’s diff'rent to me, and some people are.

So not to replicate some other’s fun

but learn to drive folk round in my own car.
