27-Feb-12: Ephesians 2:1-10
You were dead through the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once lived, following the course of this world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work among those who are disobedient. 3 All of us once lived among them in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and senses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like everyone else. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God— 9 not the result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.
“…..and I used to be so angry with you guys!”
Now hung back in the back of the back of Old Shepherd
The one Littly Lamb in membrance of such kickings and bitesings
He did once give his fellows in bellows so mean in skippered
Trips to trough and lough he now did quakely quiver in heart so sadsings
“Step up, leap up, oh Littly Lamb, ” did Old Shepherd poke and prod
“See ye not warm light, sweet light, heart-light bounced off my Crookeye
“Feel ye not warm angel-winging wind of All Forgivingness Grace of Lovingness Nod
“Fall right across your used-to-bees and your wished-it-wasn’ts to lift you up on high?”
