He needs you
That’s all there is to it
Without you he’s left hanging
Goes up in dachau’s smoke
Is sugar and spice in the baker’s hands
gets revalued in the next stock market crash
he’s consumed and blown away
used up
without you
Help him
that’s what faith is
he can’t bring it about
his kingdom
couldn’t then couldn’t later can’t now
not at any rate without you
and that is his irresistible appeal.

this world is going to he$$
in a handbasket!
it certainly is
it certainly can
it certainly will
unless
that is what Saviors are for
to save
to make things different
to bring repentance
not the repentance of
poor pitiful me
but the repentance of
“things have got to change”
it is time to turn things around
metanoia!
Jesus came to turn things around
he came to turn us around
to turn me around
with Jesus up became down, and down up
the first became last and the last first
giving became receiving and receiving became a time to
give
and death became life
and so it is
and so it ever shall be
Jesus saves
by turning us around so that we
permeated by His presence
work
doggedly, persistently, hopefully, faithfully
to turn the world around
we are the hands and feet of Jesus
we are the givers, the healers
we are the salt that flavors
we are the light that shines
we are the voice of love
Jesus needs us
to be new creations
people reborn
the ongoing incarnation
that is all there is to it
