Family Matters
He took our stripes
To give us health
We took His stripes
To gain our wealth
He gave up His crown
To redeem our thorns
We took His crown
To blow our limitless horns
He gave us His tears
To soak our enslaved ground
We took His grief
To silence conviction's sound
He gave us His word
To fight our guilt
We took His word
To grab what others have built
He took our tree
To give us life anew
We took His tree
To do all we desire to do
He took our spear
To give us unity in spirit
We took His spear
To make a megaphone so the WORLD would hear it
............WE RULE THE UNIVERSE......
...............................because Jesus WINS!!!!
He took our grave
To give us resurrection
WE took His grave
And erected a stone of insurrection
that reads:
You did your job, Jesus
Now your family will take it from here
Our grand status, wealth, health, and intellignece
Will deliver our enemies into fear

Note: Let's get it straight...Daddy God is who we pray to, and His name is LOVE. Jesus is the Way who made it possible for us to talk to His Dad without being incinerated by a HOLY and AWESOME God. If we continue to think that the purpose of Daddy God is as small and earth bound as our biggest dream, we will never engage in His vision to make a world without FEAR!
