The Purification Water

Inspired by Numbers chapter 19 & Matthew Henry’s Commentary

“COME AND BRING OUT A RED HEIFER 
A PERFECT ANIMAL WITHOUT DEFECT
THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE IT SHALL ACQUIRE 
BURN IT TO ASHES FOR FULL EFFECT 

“THE SUFFERING THROUGH FIRE IS A SACRIFICE
TO SATISFY MY JUSTICE FOR DISOBEDIENCE 
THIS IS THE ULTIMATE COST AND PRICE 
BETWEEN OURSELVES TO INTERMEDIATE 

“THE BUTCHER AND INFLAMER WILL BE UNCLEAN
AS WELL AS THE ONE WHO PICKS UP THE ASHES 
SO THEY MUST WASH THEMSELVES PRISTINE 
SO THE PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER FRACTIOUS 

“A CONSEQUENCE OF SIN IS DEATH
SO TOUCHING A CORPSE IS DEFILING 
THE LAW CANNOT BRING BACK YOUR HEALTH 
SO NEW LIFE AND HOPE I WAS COMPILING 

“MIX THE ASHES WITH FRESH WATER
THIS MIXTURE IS YOUR PURIFICATION 
THIS WILL ATONE FOR SIN’S SLAUGHTER 
A SYMBOL OF OUR SACRED RELATION”

Spiritual Blindness

Inspired by John 9 “Who has healed you? You who were blind since birth  Is it one we’ve deemed To be of unholy worth “Our steadfast laws m ust be obeyed Our sacredness must be displayed  This is what we want portrayed  Our unholy masquerade  “Because we deem what is right and wrong  We determine what does belong  We don’t care that our relationship  With the Creator has been withdrawn” Do you believe in the Son of Man? Do you believe in the redemption plan? Do you believe he heals with holy hands? The One from heaven, the great I AM  He entered the world to render judgment  To heal the blind and fulfill the covenant  It’s the guilty he finds repugnant  To the indifferent he brings adjustment Who is the one that can heal you? You who lives in the darkness  You can now be brought to the light  If you believe in Lord Jesus

Tally the People

Inspired by Matthew Henry’s commentary on Numbers chapter 1-4 From the people  number the amount of warriors For it is the end of His moratorium For too long  has the world ignored its Superior And decided to stay in their delirium   Who amongst us will distinguish themselves Against temporal things will they rebel  Excelling at maintaining sacred belongings  Propelling forward God’s outpouring  We are called to spiritual battle  So encamp around the tabernacle  Content to stay in our allotted place As we rest in His glorious grace  Remember when He spared the firstborn  So service unto Him must we perform  Because to those whom God finds work for He will provide help and He will bolster  All men and women are the Lord’s by creation  And we are His children by His redemption  Everyone should know their own post and duty  As we are made to follow Him faithfully

Anointing Before Death

Inspired by John 12:1-11 Before the celebration is the appointing  The filling of a basin for the anointing  A pleasing aroma for those around  Unlike Jonah when he almost drowned  We can try and run from God’s commands Turn away and flee from what He planned  Because we don’t agree with His compassion  Having cold hearts and a negative reaction  So like Jonah, Judas also had contempt  The welfare of others he would exempt  Despite witnessing God’s grace and mercy There were people he deemed unworthy  We will always have the poor among us  Doesn’t excuse our mood and smugness  How we spend our time is important  Don’t be deceived by the wicked serpent  So pour the perfume and prepare the body The time is coming when it’ll be buried  Crushed by the weight of disobedience  It is for us that he intermediates  And like Lazarus we can be raised  From the curse of death can we be saved  Free from ph...
