Wellsprings of Rest
by Jacob Dunbar
"He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” (Matthew 13:31-32)
Mystification
Our justification
sanctification
And glorification
Born into the sea
Came out from the depths
to save me from me
gave purpose and breath
Firstborn from the dead
Firstborn of creation
So much bloodshed
Completely forgiven
Transcendent reality
Heaven and earth
Escape the duality
See the rebirth
All things made new
With one sacrifice
Good things to ensue
Resurrection and life
New heavens new sphere
Seed has been sown
Kingdom draws near
Tree partially grown
Continues to grow
As each man is added
As one comes to know
Jesus iron cladded
resurrection begotten
the dead come awake
when all seems forgotten
He does not forsake
Each one born afresh
departs the departed
cut off extra flesh
no longer hard hearted
Stone to great mountain
Covering the earth
Refreshing fountain
Unfathomable worth
Growing and growing
Mountain expanding
Living water is flowing
No evil left standing
Beauty for ashes
Splendor for shame
Hope for the masses
Hold fast to His name
Restoring all things
Death under His feet
The King of kings
Advances the fleet
Faith makes us godly
Stuck on to His bride
Conformed to the body
Perfection inside
His love is advancing
The world is transforming
Spirit is dancing
Star of the morning
Immanuel
God dwells with man
Manifold, supernatural
The flawless plan
Serpent cast out
Curse is reversed
Eden lockout
ended and burst
Which tree to bite
Grace brings vitality
Law will bring blight
Enhances mortality
One is decreasing
Greatest decapitated
The other increasing
Head is elevated
Transfiguration
Solved the equation
Completed occasion
Perfect salvation
