A Psalm of Remembrance
Colors of Autumn remind me
of the Truth of Father's love
that extends out from before time
until time is no more
as an offer of communion with Him
He beckons me to
dis-member the lies
the lie not enough
not loveable
not worth it
that must earn love
that must perform
that must be perfect
just one more thing
then I'll be loveable
Dis-member the lies
one at a time with Holy Spirit
unravel the moment
the thought took root
that believed the lie to be true
bring before Father
repent for making a lie bigger
than His love for me
Re-member the Truth
He paid a great price
to reclaim me as His own
His loving hand reaches out to me
He was there in the darkest moments
when the lie began to dis-member me
receive His offer of re-membering
Open up my heart Oh God
that I might choose to believe
to tear down the family stronghold
that binds the sin of one generation to the next
as Gideon chopped up the family idol
so too I choose to explore, expose, and dismember the beliefs
that have stood in defiance of You
turning them into altars of praise
where Your redemption and reclamation
alter and align to
make things right between me and You
It is Your kindness that leads me to repentance
today you reclaim me as Yours
relaxing into union with You
communion restored and peace settles
deep within as I know
I am right with You
re-membering all Your goodness
Your Mercy and Loving-kindness
follow me all the days of my life
