Joining in with the whales and stars

Poems and thoughts from Louie Giglio, 9/22/2011 @ The DesiringGod National Conference

"This world is messed up at an amazing magnitude." -LG

Crying.
Sing a new hallelujah.
Reach across the table.
Reach across the ocean.
Reach to my neighbor.
Can I, when I don't know what to say?
When she has hurt me so much?
When I have done this?
May your blood drop into the hard soil of her heart,
soak in,
break up the clods,
so roots can sink in,
yes, so
gospel roots can sink in and
grow.
and flourish.
Tears that sing of his faithfulness.
Tears that sting of brokenness.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Worship happens wherever God is.

The ripple effect of Grace.

We are not all here at our leisure
But under the mandate of the grace of God.

The Universe's primary function is to 
give 
praise to
God.

"Wrecked, and not put back together in a simple form or fashion." -LG


Whoa is me, I am lost.
Wrecked, deep. Done.

Wrecked by sinful condition
Searing grace of God
To hear the question
"who shall we send?"
"Send me."

Light steps
miles- coming quietly
never still and shining
brilliant, wading deep in the
song of glory to the one who sees

Who reaches down                       this city
Unconditionally                             this day
Who breathes                               this family
Sets in place                                 this body
People for this time.
