Hoping in hopelessness
Trusting in the invisible
Listening to silence
Walking in darkness
Resting in a promise
Believing in absurdity
Taking a leap of faith
Dying to live
Living to die
Speaking in tongues
Finding strength in weakness
Boasting in failure
Planting mustard seeds
Eating the bread of life
Drinking blood
Loving enemies
Turning the struck cheek
Sharing cloaks
Receiving grace
Giving mercy
Absorbing curses
Binding wounds
Forgiving debts
Confessing sins
Fighting the good fight
Laying down heavy loads
Taking up an easy yoke
Cups running over
Dancing wildly
Frolicking in vineyards
Writing in ashes
Wearing sackcloth
Cleansed by tears
Buried in waters
Digging in the dirt
Praying for rain
Waiting for harvest
Lying on threshing floors
Dreaming of a future
Being transformed
Celebrating resurrection
Following the way
Becoming the truth
Living the life
Embracing foolishness.
