lyrics

TAPE-PAUL: (Gal. 2:20) I am crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
PAUL: (Eph. 3:16) Through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. I ask you, then, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you. They are your glory. For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.



Scene Two - Prayer
TAPE-ANGEL: I pray. . .
TAPE-PAUL: By him, we cry, “Abba, Father!” (Romans 8:15)
TAPE-CHILD (Niece Marissa): Daddy, daddy!
TAPE-FATHER: What is it, my Child? Come, let me hold you, Little One. Tell me, what is it you wish to ask? Come to me, my precious child.

TAPE-ANGEL: that he may strengthen you
PAUL: If God is for us, who can be against us? (Roman 8:31)
TAPE-CHILD: I’m scared, Daddy.
TAPE-FATHER: Do not be afraid dear Child. I AM here. Nothing can hurt you; nothing can take you away from me, my dear, sweet Child. I am here.

TAPE: that you may grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ
PAUL: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall famine or nakedness or danger or sword (Romans 8:35)
TAPE (Child): Daddy, do you love me?
TAPE (Father): Yes, Child, I have always loved you.

TAPE: that you may know this love that surpasses knowledge.
PAUL: He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, graciously give us all things. The fragrance of life. (Romans 8:32)
TAPE-CHILD: How much do you love me, Daddy?
TAPE-FATHER: I love you more than you will ever understand.

TAPE: that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
PAUL: (Romans 8:38-39) Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
TAPE-CHILD: Will you love me for always?
TAPE-FATHER: I will, my child. I will love you for always and forever. My love for you fills the universe. Never forget that my dear Child.
TAPE-CHILD: Daddy?
TAPE-FATHER: Yes?
TAPE-CHILD: I love you, too.
TAPE-FATHER: I know.

PAUL: Lord I pray for Humility. Father of mine I pray for generosity. Open my heart. Hold my hand as I walk through this world.

I did not come to you with eloquence or superior wisdom but in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. Not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom but on God’s power.

Lord I pray for Humility. Father of mine I pray for generosity. Open my heart. Hold my hand as I walk through this world.
