2015.01.29: Rejoice, People rejoice

Who may go up the mountain of the LORD?
Who can stand in his holy place? Ps 24:3

Rejoice, people rejoice
The Lord is off his holy place
He has descended the mountain
He has come seeking his people

The mountain is a lonely place
There is none whose hands are sinless
Whose hearts are pure and void of vanity
None who are worthy of his holy place

Rejoice, people rejoice
The Lord is off his holy place
He has descended the mountain
He has come seeking his people

He has come to knock on doors
Seeking sinners, prostitutes, and tax collectors
Those who threw away their inheritance
“Anyone with ears ought to hear.”

Rejoice, people rejoice
The Lord is off his holy place
He has descended the mountain
He has come seeking his people

He is calling you; harden not your heart
He already knows all that is secret and hidden
Repent, open up your heart, and be healed
He has come to lead us sinners home

Rejoice, people rejoice
The Lord is off his holy place
He has descended the mountain
He has come seeking his people

2015.01.07: on the mountain

And when he had taken leave of them, he went off to the mountain to pray. Mk 6:46

I found my Lord alone on the mountain. He’s kneeling on the ground
prostrate. His back is to me but I can see the spasms rack his
body. My ears strain to hear the sound of his sobbing. Tears
stream down my face. Helplessness overwhelms me. All I can do
is kneel next to him…………………………………………………..
………………………A gentle hand on my shoulder startles me
awake. I look up into the Light of the world. He extends his hand
to me and whispers, “The world calls us. Come, follow me.”
