Can These Words Live

Son of man, can these bones live?
Oh Lord, Yahweh, You know.
Prophesy, prophesy, prophesy!
Thus sayeth the Lord:

    Behold, I will cause breath to enter you that you may come to life.
        I will put sinews on you,
            make flesh grow on you,
                cover you with skin.

Son of man, can these words live?
Oh Lord, Yahweh, You know.
Prophesy, prophesy, prophesy!
Thus sayeth the Lord:

    Behold, I will put breath in you that you may come alive.
        I will put purpose in you,
            sink mysteries into you
                and they will know that I AM.

    Come from the four winds, O Breath,
        and breathe on these words,
            that they will deliver life.

Son of man, can these words live?
Oh Lord, Yahweh, they do.
Prophesy, prophesy, prophesy!

Look at the Picture

look at the picture
whom do you see
is it you
is it me
a slice of
  humanity

look at the picture
whom do you see
is it you
is it He
a glimpse of
  divinity

odd is the picture
laid out here now
it is mixed
already fixed
but in cloud
  hard to see

that day of despair
He said, “It's done!”
hope was lost
hope was won
won back at
  Calvery

look at the picture
sprinkled with Blood
it was you
now it's He
Dad sees His
  purity

beautiful's the picture
our Dad does see
sin is hid
taken away
it is rid
  eternally

beautiful's the picture
we strain to see
is it true
could it be
us restored
  completely
