For God All Things Are Possible

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I tell you, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astounded and said, "Then who can be saved?" But Jesus looked at them and said, "For mortals it is impossible, but for God all things are possible."

Then Peter said in reply, "Look, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?" Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man is seated on the throne of his glory, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first." Matthew 19:23-30 

 All Things Are Possible - a song for the weary

We have been wounded hurt deep

slandered and shamed and attacked

given up our pride and our station

afforded only the last place in line.

In our tears and torments

God stand with us today

the outcast and cast offs

will become the royal children

dancing in the garden once again.

We have abused by those who could honor

shaken by those who should shelter

left alone by those who might lead us

and tortured by those who could heal.

In our tears and torments

God stand with us today

the outcast and cast offs

will become the royal children

we will dance in the garden again.

They will try to remove us further

push us to the edge of breaking

tempted to run and hide away

bury ourselves in the shadows.

In our tears and torments

God stand with us today

the outcast and cast offs

have become the royal children

we are dancing in the garden today.
