From back streets, alleys and hedgerows they came,
all sorts of people with children and dogs
filling the Chapel like a hall of fame;
the smell in the air had a whiff of bogs.
The best beggar in Worcester, that was Jack
a man of the street to be laid to rest,
no family to grieve, no mourners in black.
Some he had cheated, others could attest
they had learned from him street craft to survive,
receiving and sharing what came their way.
I read from St Luke how all turned aside
of those invited to the feast that day.
I gave them a welcome in Jesus' name
for coming to share the Jack that they knew.
It wasn't a banquet, but all the same
we gathered at the grave to ballyhoo.
A tipsy guy struggled to announce
he was known to them all as Steady Jack.
"Steady as you go!" his comrades pronounced.
A young Rastafarian kept us on track
with a wistful melody on his flute,
gathered for the committal packed in close.
Many an improvised personal tribute
was tossed into the grave for Jack's repose:
besides clods of soil a can of Guinness,
a bottle upended, several butt ends,
a home made wreath dropped in as a witness
limp but sincere to Jack's coffin descends.
To pay its respects an old dog came forward,
peered in, then curled up on a grave nearby.
Once the hole was filled and Jack was covered
expletives were uttered to satisfy
feelings deep within. Then dancing began
with bongo drums which continued till dusk.
Standing aside with much to understand
as cemetery staff completed their task,
I found respectful silence was broken
by fresh conversation of what we'd seen,
rituals of death uncommonly potent
shared and displayed with nothing routine.
Which was the Son, WHO IS YOUR FATHER
Which was the son
Of all man
Where does he come from
Comes from
We have
the
same Father
Which was the son of Adam
Which was the Son of God
Some of us had three Fathers
In our life
One Spiritual God the Father
One Spiritual Lucifer/Satan Father of lies
One natural physical dad "you fill in the blank_______________"
My father name is
Are you thankful
Question is you know who your daddy is
Have you repented are you temporary one of Satan's kids
As Maury Povich would say, "Do you know who the father is?"
"And the results are in ____________Your daddy is?,
"Satan, you are not the father"
Which was the Son, WHO IS YOUR FATHER
Allah

Lord, let me be
Just let me be
The very first of your children to say
Lord let me see
Father God let me see
See the glorious, views of the heavenly
I just want to tell you Lord
All always wanna tell You God
That your the wonderful one
And it's you I run to
Let me be the first to say, let me be the first I pray
Let me be the first to say Lord that I love you;
Heaven's decided, my mind is divided;
Better place my reality on pause;
And in making and breaking the laws;
I am guilty Lord, also guilty for
Ignoring your way, ignoring you love
you are the giver that gives and you gave me life;
I just want to tell you Lord
All always wanna tell You God
That your the wonderful one
And it's you I run to
Let me be the first to say, let me be the first I pray
Let me be the first to say Lord that I love you;
Lord, let me be
Just let me be
The very first of your children to say
Lord let me see
Father God let me see
See the glorious, views of the heavenly
I just want to tell you Lord
All always wanna tell You God
That your the wonderful one
And it's you I run to
you're the one who given me a fresh new start
you're the one who gave me a new heart
and your my everything, and for this I will sing
Let me be the first to say, let me be the first I pray
Let me be the first to say Lord that I love you;

Humanity those things that you've done to me
My heart says no, my soul says it's not so
No, this couldn't be
Those feelings of emotions that erupt
Is more than just a gallon just little over half a cup
And all the sins that you have done (I have done, we have done)
Remember you're not the only one
God has said enough
And when the time is true
He"all say in His hearts of hearts He loves even you, even I
And who are we to throw stones
For most sins we share we are not alone
For God has said...I must be forgiving
This is a plea for all who are living
And keep on living
For the negative you choose
He said I must be there for you
And all the evil that you speak
I must yet shall I, I will turn the other cheek
God has said enough
To be liken to Him for I,
For we must drink of this bitter cup
And when the time is true that I must love you
God says to the saved and the lost once again
What a friend we have in Him
And when the time is true...
Only then this is when
When the time is true
This is when... That is when
That I must love you
(ref:St. Luke 5)
Leave The Hundred and Look For the One
If I have a group around me
And one would leave from me
One would leave the scene
what does this mean, what should I do
I choose to leave the group
and come look for the one
This is what Jesus would have done
If I had many, many paper dollars
So many that I couldn't count'em
I would lose just one, yes I'd lose one...
what does this mean, what should I do
I choose to look for the one
Look for the one dollar
This is what Jesus would have done
If I had one-hundred sheep
In the sheepfold and there was just one gone
It has wandered off, it's just one sheep lost
Leaving me with ninety-nine
Why wouldn't be fine
What should I do, what would you do...?
I choose to leave the group
and come look for the one
This is what Jesus would have done
Leave The Hundred and Look For the One

St. Luke 15:1-7
PRAISING STONES
As I was walking down an old gravel road;
I began kicking stones;
I heard a noise;
I thought I heard the pebbles;
Scorn, I heard them make noise they did praise God
Hallelujah
There was a landslide on the highest part of town;
The stones came tumbling, rumbling, down;
I heard a noise;
Sounds like people talking;
Sounds like praising God;
Hallelujah
A little boy on the shore was skipping rocks;
Throwing stones across;
The lake…
And He thought he heard a noise;
Sounded like praising God;
Now I found it quite odd;
Yes, within myself;
I found it odd;
But I been often told when I was young;
This that if man doesn’t praise God;
With his voice;
God shall make the rocks themselves CRY OUT;
You know that rocks crying out making noise atonement unto God;
If they were to speak of praises
If God's people don't ... But he said, 'If they kept quiet, the stones would do it
for them, shout in praise
... to rebuke them, and Jesus said,
“I tell you, if these were silent, The very stones would cry out.” ...
If we, His children are not going to do it
The “rocks” and “trees” will take over for us, singing
The “rocks” and “trees” will take over for us, singing
The “rocks” and “trees” will take over for us, singing
The “rocks” and “trees” will take over for us, singing
Hallelujah

Inspired from St Luke 19:40
The original homeless ones
Oh, I have no earthly home
Parents and I, roaming
Hiding from the governer
Hiding from rulers and men
Come before you naked
Later wrapped in swaddling clothes
The original homeless ones
Born from the Holy Ghost
Mother Mary was it's host
And God allowed me Jesus to come down
God allowed me to live on
He allows to be birth this day
To grow, live die on a cross someday
To save men's from their sins
This baby boy with us
This future King of Kings, Jesus
The original homeless one

St Luke 2-8
Oh, Foolish man
Where do you stand?
Amidst the embalm methods of your mediums
God knows the Foolish man
Such a brutish man
Hasn’t got a worthwhile plan
No one understands
The ways of a Foolish man
He who dreams to build a better life on this world
Instead of laying up riches for heaven
I was once a Foolish man
Thought I had the plan
Now I understand
The ways of a Foolish man
Oh, Lord, My God give me all
I’m in awe, give me your best
I’m storing up the rest
God knows the Foolish man
Such a brutish man
Hasn’t got a worthwhile plan
No one understands
The ways of a Foolish man
He who dreams to build a better life on this world
Instead of laying up riches for heaven
Father help me resist the desire to be rich in this life
Take me higher after this life
Everyday O Lord ever day banking on this life alone
Bankrupt trying to get an earthly loan
O’ God keep my investments in a divine deposit
Give me way more than I need
Oh, Lord, My God give me all
I’m in awe, give me your best
I’m storing up the rest
“He said, “This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods”
Hallelujah

St. Luke 12:18
it's quiet time
the dawn has come and there...
there's no more reason to run
and yet the shadow of faith has surrounded you
and the complexity of life confounds you
Let us fall down
Let us fall down now
Let us fall down on our knees;
Let us fall down
Let us fall down now let us plead to the God of liberty
Let us fall down on our knees;
Let us praise the creator our Lord God almighty;
Lus us hold on to hope and faith in Him there is no hiding place
no hiding place
it's worship time
the dawn has drawn...
and there still is no reason to run
just let the Holy Spirit guide you, shield and enlighten you
for the shadow of faith that surrounded you
and the complexity of life confronts you;
Let us fall down
Let us fall now
Let us fall down now
Let us fall down on our knees
Let us fall as ask God for mercy please...
Let us praise the Lord together
Our God creator all mighty Lord the King
Let freedom rock, let His words ring clear;
just praise, praise Him
let us praise the creator out Lord God
Aren't you tired of running from yourself;
just settle down exchange that frown;
stop trying to be someone else
Let us fatal now and rejoice let us rebuke and rebuke the devil
aren't you tired of Satan's breath?
let him breathe on someone else
Let us fall down, down, down
Let us all fall down, down
Let's get on our knee
Pray to
God please

Fallen SEED (HUNGER GROWS)
I sow seeds,
Yes! I plant them;
Onto the ground;
Fell on some,
Some rocks seeds fell on;
Sprung up, choke
dried up
no water
Fell on some weeds and thorns;
Sprang in rain, with it choked up;
Sprung up, choke
dried up
no water
Oh! BUT FALLEN GOOD GROUND
Swallowed up in good ground
Spring forth arise and grow for the Lord
Ahh! fallen seed
you are indeed
hunger grows
but Jesus holds
you in His arms
your feet are off the ground
your soul rises, unblocked you rise
A bare fruit grown
hundred-fold
truth be told
ya! got ears close your mouth, listen you need to hear
I sow seeds,
Yes! I plant them;
Onto the ground;
Fell on some,
Some rocks seeds fell on;
Sprung up, choke
dried up
no water
Father, God unlike the seed
I am flowered Lord pollinate me
Through my spirit allow my soul to be
Fallen seed planted in your bosom
As my hunger grows
You have satisfied my soul
Sprung up, choke
dried up
no water
Father, God unlike the seed
I am flowered Lord pollinate me
Hunger grows I was once like a.......
fallen seed
