Excerpt from "the Prophet Song"

This poem is the very first entry in the Prophet Song. I wrote it in April 2003 if I remember correctly. It is titled "Thoughts". It is about redefining our identity, not as men do, by our influence, job, or position. In this generation there has been an increase of being named by a number. We have social security numbers and many other numbers that identify us depending on our lives and cicumstances. Having these things in place is not necessarily bad, my point is that it is very important to know how God identifies us. As a generation even much of the church does not know who we are. This poem addresses such issues, hopefully revealing truth about a few of the many things God has said about us as a people who have been given the spirit of adoption. (Rom 8)

"THOUGHTS"

This generation evaporates, clinging to its identity

When will the faceless find a true voice?

Our identity is Christ, it is hidden in Him.

Hope and salvation pass by... we sing another song

'whispers' We are not another nine digit number.

The cross seems so foolish. How could blood posses worth?

To God we are not another nine digit number

We need to see our identity.

The prophets reveal a Holy heart- the testimony of Jesus

The generation Israel, it is more than a name.

All the angels cry out, ministering brokenness and hope...

to an evaporating generation, wasted on lies.

Why do we live like the smoke? Will we ever make a name?

We need to see our identity.

We are the deliverance people, bound to our identity

struggling with our own pride- some even failing.

May I be hidden in my identity, "I AM A SON!"

Blood is still of worth therefore I am not a number.

And I am no God, but the true God knows me.

I see my identity.

This generation... we need to see our identity.

We are deliverers,

Those called.

Our identity is Christ, hidden in Him.

We are His.
