THESE DISHES AIN'T GONNA DO THEMSELVES

Chaleur épique sous les tropiques

Lyrics:


Jesus spoke clearly to Nicodemus...
Truly, truly, I say to you...
Unless one is born again... 
He cannot see the kingdom of God...

Being born again is not merely a question... 
Of whether you are saved... 
Or not It is the deeper question of existence... 
Are you actually living the unseen kingdom of God... 
In your life right now...

Faith is not abstract thought…
Nor distant theology…

Faith does not remain...
A confession of the lips…
True faith is revealed in how we live...
How we choose...
And how we relate...
Faith becomes substance...
Faith becomes evidence...
Faith is revealed
through three lived realities…

Now faith is the substance of things hoped... 
For the evidence of things not seen...
Faith is not something...
That will be proven someday…
Faith is already being revealed...
In how you live today...

Let’s begin with the Faith of Contextuality…
Faith does not operate only inside church walls…
It must be revealed right where you are standing now...
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us...
God enters the places of our lives...
Our work, our homes our failures, our suffering...
That place becomes holy ground...
Faith is not escaping reality…
Faith is seeing the kingdom of God inside reality....

Now faith is the substance of things hoped... 
For the evidence of things not seen...
Faith is not something...
That will be proven someday…
Faith is already being revealed...
In how you live today...

Next is the Faith of Presence…
Truly, truly, I say to you before Abraham was, I am...
Not past tense Not future tense But now...
God works in today...
So God’s people do not live on yesterday’s faith... 
Or tomorrow’s possibilities…
They live by today’s faith...

I tell you whatever you ask in prayer...
Believe that you have received it...
And it will be yours...
Faith lives in gratitude...
For what God has already answered right now...

Now faith is the substance of things hoped... 
For the evidence of things not seen...
Faith is not something...
That will be proven someday…
Faith is already being revealed...
In how you live today...

Finally, the Faith of Presentness…
The God we believe in is not distant...
He is Immanuel ... God with us...
Abide in me, and I in you...
A reborn life...
Is not a religious routine separated from God…
It is a life united with Him...

Faith is not vague hope for what we cannot see…
It is a way of being...
Living the unseen kingdom of God...
Here and now...
A reborn life means...
This place becomes the kingdom...
This moment becomes eternity...
This walk becomes communion...

Now faith is the substance of things hoped... 
For the evidence of things not seen...
Faith is not something...
That will be proven someday…
Faith is already being revealed...
In how you live today...
