The Role of a Pastor
His primary goal, our salvation
Our atonement, kept His Word
Yet first trained, His disciples
To spread His Gospel, to the world.
Our Worship – Accepted or Rejected
But washed clean, before we offer
As in the Tabernacle, with laver
Now Jesus’ blood, still sanctifies
So, our heart and offerings, find favor.
But To Thy Name
Not to us, O Lord
But all the glory, Thine
Unto Thy Name, praise and thanks
For every gift, divine.
Without a Vision
Without a vision
The people will perish
Need a future and hope
God’s Word, to cherish.
A Call to Repentance
Start a fire, LORD we ask
And burn up the dross
Great repentance and turning
Before yet more, are lost.
From Questions to Commitment
With each worldview different answers,
Made in God’s image, Judeo-Christian.
With only Jesus addressing evil,
Conquered sin, restores and listens.
Our Journey
Who am I, my meaning?
Just why am I here?
My purpose, my mission?
Few have ears to hear.
Can We Know God ?
We’re created to worship
Our innermost essence
A thirst deep within
To enter, God’s Presence.
Driven by Hatred or Love?
Jesus showed forth God’s love
Crucified, for me and you
Had cried “Father, forgive them
They know not, what they do. “
Injustice and Tyranny
Let us pray, for repentance
Share Jesus’ Good News
But despair not, at injustice
God will avenge, if they refuse.
