Lyrics as Poetry
“It’s time to change”, said Jesus,
in prophet-echoed word,
“the chains that hold you prisoner
prevent you doing good.
God’s new day dances forward
with truth and trust and love.
The signs are all around us —
come home, like Noah’s dove.”
The signs may seem long hidden
from human heart and mind;
the forces of destruction
still deafen and leave blind.
Yet love still welcomes stranger
and hungry ones are fed;
courageous souls take chances
and follow where they’re led.
The moods that overwhelm us.
hold captive, and oppress,
give way to holy manners —
to living lives that bless.
With Spirit strength within us
we walk new paths of peace;
we find new modes of living,
and know God’s joy increased.
