TRINITY and the PEOPLE OF GOD

[this is a rough poem/lyric summary of a lesson series taught in the TFB college ministry]

Truth spoken,
Desperate and harsh.
Three-thousand survive the wince,
Fleeing to the kingdom.

Truth lived,
Beautiful and real.
Day after day the broken and lost,
Gathering as the found and healed. (Acts 2:40-47)

Father, Son, Holy Spirit,
Three-in-One, who closed the gap.
Father, Son, Holy Spirit,
We his people, we his house. (Eph 2:11-22)

Humanity crafted,
Many and one.
Blessed as rulers, partners with God
Bearing his glory. (Gen 1:27-28)

Humanity crafted,
Redeemed and new.
Spirit-helped lovers of God,
Imaging the Son. (Rom 8:28-29)

Father, Son, Holy Spirit,
Spoke the worlds, felt the deep.
Father, Son, Holy Spirit,
Source of living, source of light. (Gen 1:1-5; Jn 1:1-5)

Son commissioned,
Immersed and blessed.
Linked to the prophets, the Father’s loved Son,
Speaking the kingdom.

Son commissions:
Immerse and teach.
Sends to the nations the Son’s loved saints,
Preaching the kingdom. (Mat 3:13-17; 28:16-20)

Father, Son, Holy Spirit,
Eternal God, he who rules.
Father, Son, Holy Spirit,
Only Savior, only Lord. (Rev 1:4-8)

Body gathered,
Many yet one.
Each member crafted, needed and called,
Serving as one.

Body gathered,
One yet many.
Each member different, shaped and blessed,
Caring as one. (1 Cor 12:12-27)
