Color & Emotion Rebekkah Lenora

...some thoughts on the sufficiency of God and His Word to sustain us ... 

the passages that inspired My God Will Hear Me :: Psalm 73, Micah 7:7-8

{Lyrics}
HARD IS  RELATIVE
SOME THINGS YOU'D DREAD TO LIVE AGAIN

BUT AS FOR  ME
EVEN A FAILING HEART IS NOT WEAK
BOXING TO BELIEVE
IN MORE THAN CARROTS ROPED ON STRINGS
I KNOW MY GOD WILL HEAR ME
I KNOW MY GOD WILL HEAR ME                                            
THOUGH I FALL, I WILL RISE
THOUGH I SIT IN THE DARKNESS, GOD IS  MY LIGHT
I WILL WATCH UNTIL THE DAY SWALLOWS MY NIGHT
A LITTLE WHILE IS LONG
TO SUFFER WHILE THE DEVIL ROAMS
BUT MY ROOTS HAVE GROWN DEEP
I'VE LEARNED TO CAST MY CARES AND SING
I KNOW MY GOD WILL HEAR ME
I KNOW MY GOD WILL HEAR ME               
                           
THOUGH I FALL, I WILL RISE
THOUGH  I SIT IN THE DARKNESS, GOD IS  MY LIGHT
I WILL WATCH UNTIL THE DAY SWALLOWS MY NIGHT
GLORY WILL RESTORE ME,
I'LL BE STRENGTHENED AND CONFIRMED
THE LORD WILL UPHOLD ME
WHEN I FALL I WILL BE HEARD
THOUGH I FALL, I WILL RISE
THOUGH  I SIT IN THE DARKNESS, GOD IS  MY LIGHT
I WILL WATCH UNTIL THE DAY SWALLOWS MY NIGHT


~ Patient endurance is what we need now. Take heart. ~

Some thoughts on honor as generational blessing and protection. Where there is honor, there is also humility and where there is humility there is love and there is compassion; so rather than wanting to be right as our first priority, we will want to see others do well. We will want to see them prosper and be in good health even as their souls prosper.
~ Patient endurance is what we need now. Take heart. ~

Thoughts on the glories and messiness and awkwardness of spring; learning to discern our personal seasons. 

The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the Lord; they flourish in the courts of our God. They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green, to declare that the Lord is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. // Psalm 92:12-15
~ Patient endurance is what we need now. Take heart. ~

Walking through the lyrics of a passover song. Thoughts on commemorating holy days in ways that don't conform to this world.  

Myrrh & Aloe :: 

DARKNESS SPILLED LIKE INK, THEY SAY 
BLOOD SOAKED THE EARTH AND IT SHOOK 
AND ROCKS CAVED
HOLINESS HUNG ON MOCKED DISPLAY
IF THEY’D HAVE KNOWN, HE WOULDN’T STAY THAT WAY

WORD OF GOD MADE FLESH AND NAMED
COME TO RESCUE, SLAIN TO SAVE
ELI, HE CRIED, BUT NOT IN VAIN 
THE ONE WITH A SWORD FOR A TONGUE GAVE DEATH A TASTE 
JESUS DIED BUT HE DIDN’T STAY THAT WAY


BEHOLD THE BODIES OF 
THE SLEEPING SAINTS WERE RAISED
BEHOLD, THE VEIL IS TORN 
BEHOLD, THE TEMPLE IS REPLACED 

MYRRH AND ALOE, RICH IN WEIGHT 
THE AUTHOR OF LIFE WAS WRAPPED IN SPICE 
AND BURIED IN A GRAVE 
THE KINGDOM OF EVIL THOUGHT IT WON THAT DAY
BUT HE DIDN’T STAY THAT WAY

 IF THEY’D HAVE KNOWN, HE WOULDN’T STAY THAT WAY
~ Patient endurance is what we need now. Take heart. ~

… a little more insight into the trials of various kinds that became the backdrop of ‘at Dusk;’ thoughts on the glory of physically, literally walking with God :-)

at Dusk • Rebekkah The Band
THIS SKY, THIS DUST
THESE COLORS AT DUSK - 
A MEMORY OF TRUST UNBROKEN BY US
FROM WHEN YOU USED TO WALK WITH US 
AND YOU USED TO TALK WITH US 
WHEN YOU USED TO WALK WITH US 
AT DUSK 

THIS SUNSET, THESE YEARS
THE END OF ALL THINGS IS NEAR 
THE KINGDOM IS HERE; THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR 
YOU HAVE COME TO WALK WITH US 
YOU’VE COME TO TALK WITH US 
HERE YOU ARE TO WALK WITH US 
AT DUSK 

THIS SUNSET, THESE YEARS
THE END OF ALL THINGS IS NEAR 



~ Patient endurance is what we need now. Take heart. ~

Photographs & Prose (2020) • Rebekkah The Band
IF IT WASN'T FOR THEIR FEAR
THE MASKS AND THE DISTANCE AND THE SOCIAL RESTRICTIONS
IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN A BETTER YEAR
FOR MY QUIET DISPOSITION
TO FINALLY GET TO SPEND ALL DAY AT HOME
BUT EVERYTHING IS CHANGING
GEARING UP TO BE EXPOSED, I'M MORE AVOIDANT THAN I'VE KNOWN


BAKING WITH PHOTOGRAPHS AND PROSE
BACK TO WHAT I KNOW
LIKE PETER GOING FISHING AFTER JESUS GAVE UP THE GHOST
I DON'T WANT LIFE THE WAY IT WAS
WE'RE GOING HOME - SOONER THAN YOU KNOW
THE KINGDOM IS SO CLOSE
THE KINGDOM IS SO CLOSE


WHO AM I SINGING FOR ANYWAY
WHEN I CAN'T RELY ON CLASSICAL TONES TO SAVE THE DAY
I CAN'T HEAR ME PLAYING TO A METRONOME
BUT I CAN'T SEE ME STAYING IN MY COMFORT ZONE


BAKING AND PHOTOGRAPHS AND PROSE
BACK TO WHAT I KNOW
LIKE PETER GOING FISHING AFTER JESUS GAVE UP THE GHOST
I DON'T WANT LIFE THE WAY IT WAS
WE'RE GOING HOME - SOONER THAN YOU KNOW
THE KINGDOM IS SO CLOSE
THE KINGDOM IS SO CLOSE


SO I'VE BEEN BAKING WITH PHOTOGRAPHS AND PROSE
BACK TO WHAT I KNOW
LIKE PETER GOING FISHING AFTER JESUS GAVE UP THE GHOST
I DON'T WANT LIFE THE WAY IT WAS
WE'RE GOING HOME - SOONER THAN YOU KNOW
THE KINGDOM IS SO CLOSE
THE KINGDOM IS SO CLOSE
