Within the body of The Christ

Is a beautiful and diverse array.

No two prophets are just alike

Nor are pastors and teachers the exact same.

…

For inside of each hearts they do bleed

And flow with unique, prophetic bent.

But Christ is the Master of fine tapestry

And each one He simply calls His.

…

Perhaps our mistake is the boxes we make

With players preferred all the same

And squelched we have the Spirits voice

Crushing many along the way.

…

For when in the womb until then the tomb

He’s woven each gifting to save

And Christ is still Master of each diverse gift

Dispersing them as He may.

…

Each is a marked, distinguishing heart

That carries His very name

Some with a brush that paints holy hush

While others are scribes today.

…

Some now do preach in churches and streets

While others do tend the sheep

And without them each the body is weak

And the Kingdom of Christ isn’t complete.

…

So, gird up your loins for it is now war

And all hands should now be on deck

For it will take all answering the call

For what Hell releases next.

…

There is no more time for shallow fault lines

Prepare now your teams to be brave

For it is the time to restore the blind

And Christ calls you each forward today.
