Rap it up

Today during our training, we were split into four groups: rappers, artists, sculptors, and drama/ skit people. We then had to create a piece to illustrate a YWAM value. I went with the rappers and put a twist on words I had sketched out before:

Amazing, unchanging

You are infinite and intimate

And I stand in awe of the Uncreated King

The God of life, love, and creativity

Staring at the tube that brings gloom

Leads me to think that we are all doomed

But then I come to the throne of grace

Asking You to remove the mud from my face.

Replace it with your lens

Remind me again

You are not yet discouraged with man.

In fact, you have hope

Even when I fret and can barely cope

You see what I can't see.

I see an acorn, You see the tree

I see brokenness, while You birth a dream

One hope, one goal, one place to seek

Every tribe, nation, tongue falling to their knees.

Make this my goal - make this my dream

To see one Bride loving One King.

We were focusing on seeing life from God's perspective, and this came out. We had about 15 minutes to pull it together, so I rapped, while someone did a beatbox, another did backup vocals, and two others danced. It was fairly short, but so much fun!

I have other stories I'd love to share from this time, but time is slipping and eyelids are drooping, so I'm off to get some beauty rest.
