"Minute by Minute"



It's the crisp new lullaby
openness, honesty, vulnerability
Don't ask why?
Know that we are who we are and we do what we do
God is not to blame
and we must be there for each other

Minute by minute day by day
God is near to us yet we can barely touch that love
It's illusive yet reassuring
like something of value it isn't easily grasped
yet is freely available

In our Easter Friday experiences
We run dry, we hit walls, we fail
We get up, we stand, we walk
Where to from here?
Anywhere just don't fake it!

Minute by minute day by day
God is near to us we overflow with exuberance
We cry, we laugh, we dance
the power is in the knowing
and the knowing is ours to do

Minute by minute day by day
God finds a way
power and passion you and I
time is wasting
ours is the love to be shared out
So get to the task without any bounds

OK poor attempt awaiting improvement... lets call it a first draft... but here is an opening liturgy or prayer I would potentially use or record someone else reading in worship utilising the 'Enough Rope' clip of the Grinspoon song "Minute By Minute"
