John 6:16-24

Poem:

Show me the money, show me the miracles
ministry can be god, that's not hysterical
let's not just do things for Him
be with Him instead, that's a fortune
Strive and search for significance
make it happen with greatness and experience
why take it out (+) be so liberal
this DOES make sense; it's literal
Not your average waves, an intimate scare
who could calm the storm with legitimate fear
so many motivators makes us crazy
it initiates us to no longer be lazy
if you're eager and you crave, you long for...
something that you lack, yes you want more
he came to free us from restriction
get that relationship, rest in peace to religion

You can row and row, left in sorrow
Think big, go large, be efficient not hollow
Fill the tank, charge the battery
Bits and pieces here and there are a fallacy

Everything's closing in that despondent place
this is the place where he meets us face to face
he came the hard way, so long and far
be sure of the son, more than a star
Take courage, in your darkest hour
beyond the ice, beyond a heart that's sour
don't be discouraged in the worse of times
find courage be encouraged, rehearse the lines
Even if your off beat in an emotional journey
the vessel sways away in waves in a hurry
looking for his hand, missing the man
not many see his face, took a blessing and ran
He won't let you sink, I know you've been searching
seeking and craving, pursuits got us hurting
he is so worthy, stop over-thinking, you're underachieving
have faith my child, it's time to start believing

If this doesn't fire you up, then bet
that your wood must obviously be wet
Immediately means... straight and direct
His power has power, no debate all respect

Surrender all to him, be with us now
Human effort and God's presence is different, how?
Different, so different, a brain can't imagine
Picture him now, it's more than you can fathom
