Good Friday
What’s so good about death? God faced death. Moving into the depth of human struggle, the darkest corners of the human experience, God died. Isn’t that about the sweetest expression of love? To go to your darkest places with you. A place where good is no more. There God is. Even there, even in death, God is. Death to things that have been. From there comes new creation. And humans saw that it was good.
Lullaby for the Relapsed
[audio mp3="http://paacmagtest.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Serena-Lee-Lullaby-for-the-Relapsed.mp3"][/audio]Verse 1Hum a melody that rises fromYour shoes- a hundred stories written on your solesCome, I’ll sing with you my harmonyIt’s true, I’m so excited that you’re coming homeRefrainEven step ninety-nine is hard when you’re covered in scarsVerse 2Rest, you’ve journeyed long- it’s time to sleepPlease let me bind your wounds and wash your feetYou are in hands that have been hurt beforeI know, I recognize your shoes- I have some tooRefrainEven step ninety-nine is hard when you’re covered in scarsVerse 3They say before you make yourself at homeYou’ll want to leave and never want to stay againMy friend, when you feel this way, don’t forgetTo hum the song of strength that brought you here todayRefrainEven step ninety-nine is hard when you’re covered in scarsEven step ninety-nine is hard when you’re covered in scarsTagFor now, just sleepYou’re in good handsFor now, just sleepYou’re in good hands…
