Heaven is knocking on earth’s door

Monday Message

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
 
You have the keys
To now unlock
Go explore
 
Did you open it?
Or are you frightful of the roar?
That deep
Inner low groan
So quiet at once
Trapped beneath the sun
So tamed
And now unleashed
It’s free to roam
It’s free to run
 
Heaven, is that you I see?
Running towards a new world
Running towards the open door
With a slow prowl
Then a sprint
Then a bow
 
As the angels sing loud
Bow down
Bow to that inner spirit
Let it free
Let it loose
 
Your time here on this earth
Is but a moment
Like a wolf’s howl at a full moon
 
Does what you're doing now
Make you proud
Does what you're doing now
Bring a piece of heaven down?
 
If heaven is to be the new earth
Then what are you giving a new birth?
You have two hands
Create.
You have a voice
Now Speak.
You have two feet
Now Move.
Move through that creviced door
Open it wide
and throw the keys beyond the shore
 
Don't look back
To Sodom and Gomorrah
Just keep going
Just keep staying
Stay in the little home
Where the seeds you planted
Are soon to be sown
Keep going right where you are
Because where you are is never too near
Yet it’s moving you far
 
Farther than you could imagine
That Spirit
It’s grabbing
It’s tugging
It’s pulling
Begging you not to ruin
This home that He built
This heart on this shelf
It’s been dusty for a while
But He is pulling it out
 
Those weeds are now plucked
Those wild, unruly vines
Now neatly tucked
And this, my darling
Is only the first cut
 
Let Him prune a little more
and rest assured
Your roots will go deeper
Because that faith you have now
Now that’s a believer.
