I can hear the rhythm Of the Lion of the tribe of Judah He's doing a new thing So we're singing a new song He's not a baby in a manger anymore He's not a broken man on a cross He didn't stay in the grave And He's not staying in heaven forever! Listen. Can you hear it? Are your ears open? The natural rhythm of life ... wake, sleep, live, die, eat, drink, work, play, laugh, cry ... it fills every moment of our existence. Its so much part of our very being that we don't even think about it. The rhythm of the Lion of of the tribe Judah ... now that's something else. Do you hear it? Can you feel it? Are you attuned to the sound of Gods rhythm? People walking around With their fingers in the their ears Singing, "Da da da da da." "I don't want to hear the sound of the coming King." The rhythm of the Word, that same voice that spoke our world into creation speaks to you and I. It is not the voice of our making. It says things that comfort us, and it says things that we do not want to hear. And the Word moves with the beat of a heart once broken, and it calls to us to say, will you dance? Will you move with me? Will you go where I go? Will you forsake your agenda for mine? Once again I'm going to shake Everything that can be shaken Once again I'm going to break Everything that can be broken This is not a strange theology. This is only the story of the Word. As we listen to God, as a community and as individuals, His desire is that we hear His rhythm and move with him. Like David who danced before the Lord we may need to take of all our encumbrances, even such that it shocks those around us. But ... when we move with Him, so he rejoices. He desires to exult over us, to sing over us with Joy. Are you ready? Are you ready for this? This is not a game.
