He said, ‘Greater works than Mine, one day you will do’.
But such you’ll never do,
if in His shoes you can’t see you.
So go ahead, learn His role
that the Gospels tell,
So in your life His part
you’ll play very well.
A student, a doctor or
surgeon shall never become,
If the vision never takes
root deep in his bosom.
So look down, step in dusty
sandals that clod His feet.
Pick up, then don robes He
wore on His ministry beat.
Imagine God’s Spirit as a
Dove on you descending.
Feel His love for people
you’ll soon be befriending.
He considered it not
robbery with God to be equal.
With 'Him in you, you in
Him' – you’re really His sequel.
Feel the cold water,
running swiftly off your face,
As your water baptizer
raises you with grace.
Prepare well for your race,
40 days and 40 nights,
As satan prepares for you
his temptations to fight.
Imagine The Father telling
you what to do and say,
As you walk among crowds on
dusty roads every day.
Alone, feel the thirst,
smell water in that old well,
As you wait for a
Samaritan, all her story to tell.
Reach for a stick; start
writing on dry ground,
As accusers drop their
rocks -- no woman to stone.
Release spiritual
authority; at your word demons flee!
Powerless to terrorize,
since you heard people’s plea!
Perceive holy angels moving
briskly among crowds,
Multiplying fish and
loaves, lifting heads that are bowed.
Release forgiveness to
those who against you plot,
Knowing if you don’t, your supply
lines will be blocked.
Love all your friends, as
well as your enemies.
Love even your Judases --
those who are ‘frienemies’.
Staying in love is crucial,
as it fuels your faith.
Living as Jesus, don’t
slip; too much is at stake!
Except for His birth and
death, there’s nothing in His life,
That we can’t imagine
doing/being; we now are His light!
T’was He, not I, who said, ‘Greater works you
will do!’
Will you ever do them if
you never see Him as you?
Friend, at this pivotal
point in this simple poem,
I release you, not to stop,
but to keep on going.
Take this simple idea, this
imagination so powerful,
And transform your life;
make your world colorful.
Fill it with the rainbow
that encircles God’s throne.
Play your role, i-Jesus,
from now till you go home.
In your family, work,
social and all other settings,
Remember it’s Him and His
role that you are casting.
Perhaps you’ve heard and
even asked, ‘W-W-J-D?’
Don’t wonder what He would
do; just see yourself as He.
Go ahead; study long; on
His ole story dwell.
Learn His heart, then play
His part very well.
As you imagine playing His
role, oh so lofty,
Hear Him whispering to you,
always so softly,
“In your own power alone, none
of this can be done,
“But Me working through
you, every victory is won!”
