2015.02.17: unleavened bread

Do you not yet understand or comprehend? Are your hearts hardened? Do you have eyes and not see, ears and not hear? Mk 8:16-17

Let me eat, Lord
the daily bread
that you offer

Let my tongue, Lord
learn to love the taste
of unleavened bread

Keep me safe, Lord
from the leaven
of the world

Let my ears, Lord
hear your voice above
the noise of the world

Let my eyes, Lord
see your daily miracles
no matter how little

Let my heart, Lord
understand the way to salvation
comes through unleavened bread

Yet you have made him little less than angels,
crowned him with glory and honor. – Ps 8:6

we are born
little less than angels
and for awhile
we remain in that state
until we are told the lie
over and over
until little by little
we come to believe
we are much
less than angels

soon we find ourselves
far removed from eden
all that’s is left for us
the daily struggle to obtain
the object of our fall
the crown of honor and glory
once a birthright
now the chains and shackles
that bind and enslave us
and we forget
that we were made
little less than angels

until He was born
little less than angels
but He was immune
to the lies of the world
choosing instead
the baptism of death
and in his rising
He restored the memory
that we were made
little less than angels

come let us embrace
the Lord of our hearts
the Child Healer
lest we forget
that we were made
little less than angels
