Dance with Me

Dance with Me
By Rev. Lonnie C. Crowe

And Jesus said to me,
"I want to dance with you
To the music of heaven
Voiced by the angels
When I sang creation into being.
Dance to the rhythm of the galaxies..
Dance to the sounds that reverberate
Even into the "black holes" of life.
Waltz to the melodies of star systems,
Comets, quarks and quasars."

And I answer,
"Lord, I'll dance.
If You are the sun,
I am Your earth.
If You are the earth,
I am Your moon.
I'll pirouette in Your orbit.
I'll move as You move.
In step with all of creation,
We'll dance together
Through the melodic cosmos
And into eternity.

It's So New


It's So New
By Rev. Lonnie C. Crowe

It's so new
This season.
It isn't just that it's different.
It's like nothing in our history.
It's new.
We haven't been this way before

No GPS
To guide this journey.
No Almanac
To forecast this season.
Like Joshua,
We must keep our eyes on the Ark.
We must stay a few steps back
And follow Your lead.

Oh, Lord, it's so new.
Holy Spirit,
You, alone, are our Pillar of Fire
In this darkness.
You, alone, are all we need.

Song of Invitation

From Dancing in the Cosmos 
by Rev. Lonnie C. Crowe

Song of Invitation by Eternal Hope:


Arise, My child.
Spring to the heights with Me.
Soar in My liberty.
Ascend to My dreams.
Come out of your valleys,
Beyond the mountain tops.
Seek for the stars.
Reach for the cosmos.
Dance in the glory of now.
Dance in the promise of tomorrow.
Though ravaged by time
And the machinations of man,
The foundations born of fire
Still stand.
Build on the past.
Walk in the present
And aspire the eternal.
Come, My child,
Come, dance in the stars with Me;
            Then even those who refuse to dance will be blessed.
           Even those who are afraid to reach, those who do not respond 
           And those who slumber will be blessed.
           Deny the call,
           And none will be touched with this truth.
