‘Permission’

To be reborn, as Jesus said, you are not baptized in water but in the Spirit. This comes after you’ve died…for in order to be reborn, you must first die.

Permission
  
 He† sits there waiting for you to say it
 He's† giving you permission
 –why don't you take it
  
 He† stands there patiently–
 His† hands thumbing
 His† toes tapping
 He† sits then stands again
 He† paces...up and down, up and down
  
 He† can't intervene
 in frustration...He† waits
 He† goes to His† Father†
 tries to intercept
 wants to intercept
 but a mighty hand goes up
  
 'an adult's bitter heart is still present'
  
 so back to waiting
 He† goes
  
 He† watches, sends in the angel
 the guide
 hoping you'll see
 –that breaking you down
 is a matter of keep
  
 the permission is granted–
 fall to your knees
 cry over all those horrible deeds
 yell, curse, scream
 curl into a ball–
 hug, go on, hug those knees
 sniffle, let all your crevices bleed
 –wipe them on your sleeve
 pucker them lips
 suck air in deep
 –go on and just breathe
  
 look around, go ahead, look around
 things are beginning to look differently
 they seem...simple
 maybe almost magical
  
 go ahead, cry more if you need
 go ahead, sniffle
 pucker up them lips in pout
  
 things, indeed, have changed
 you are feeling your child-heart
 you are granted permission
 by He†...who is the Lord
  
 in the depths of your scream
 you called out His† name
 you see....
 that's what He† was waiting for
  
 He† was waiting for:
 the coming apart
 of your adult heart
 He† knows sincerity
 only lives in the child heart
 –that place where God†
 wants you to turn...truly
  
 when you get there–
 He† knows you died...truly
 for you called out–
 now....
 the crumbs of Yeshuah† comes in
  
 it is the time–
 for you to be redeemed
 the beginning of your new birth
 –a new baptism
 when the Spirit comes over you
 and you become clean
  
 patient...it's a slow process
 for Good reason
 a child's first steps are careful
 go too fast and you'll fall
 –you'll have to restart it all
  
 shh...slow, slow, slow
 the Lord† is waiting
 it's your choice to succeed
 –all you have to do
 is believe!
