For the singles of The One Body in Midland~

-joy to fall like raindrops on those dry from disappointments
-the light of God's glory to show the hidden things in hearts,
things we feel could never be told--
freedom to let that lie go.
-strength for those standing in spite of
-for the dispossessed
-God, for those who've lost their treasure
and are traveling poorer than they need be
-we pray against a hardening,
and a turning to the ways of the world to satisfy perceived unmet needs
that have really already been met, in Christ
-we pray enlightenment for an ignorance abounding about
an inheritance so expensively obtained
-that the proud,
the "elite", would return again to their knees
and see themselves in laodician need
-that those that self-wound and self-sabotage,
most without even noticing what they do,
would see
-oh, God! for a deliverence from self-focus,
an opening of eyes to see where our pupils lie
-for real homes, places of lodging for those displaced
-for repentence among us,
we thank Thee, O Magnificent One!
