NO
I
WILL CREATE
I
WILL BUILD
MY NEW JERUSALEM
TO
MY SPECIFICATIONS

AND

I
WILL BUILD
SANCTUARIES
THAT WELCOME
THE LOST
AND
THE HUNGRY
AND
THE BROKEN-HEARTED!!!

I
WILL BUILD
PLACES
WHERE IT DOES
NOT
MATTER
WHAT YOU WEAR!!!

I
WILL BUILD
PLACES
THAT WILL
NOT
CLOSE!!!

I
WILL BUILD
PLACES
THAT WILL
ALWAYS
HAVE A LIGHT ON
MANY LIGHTS!!!

I
WILL BUILD
TEMPLES UNTO
ME, ALONE
NOT
UNTO
THE FALSE GODS
OF
PERFORMANCE
AND
GREED
AND
FAME!!!

NO
I
WILL BUILD
PLACES OF THE HEART
WHERE WORSHIP
IS
THE THEME
AND
I AM
EXALTED
ABOVE ALL ELSE!!!

I
WILL BUILD
PLACES
BEYOND
YOUR
WILDEST DREAMS!!!

BUT
REMEMBER

I AM
THE CREATOR!!!

I
CREATE
ALL
THINGS NEW!!!
AND
IT IS TIME
TO CALL
IN
THE NEW

I
HAVE GIVEN
MY CHURCH TIME
TO REPENT
TIME TO LISTEN
TO MY VOICE

I
HAVE GIVEN
MY CHURCH
FREEDOM
TO
PLAN AND PURSUE
BUT
THEY WENT FARTHER AWAY
FROM
MY HEART
 FROM
MY PURPOSES

NO
THIS IS A
NEW DAY
AND NOW
I
WILL DO IT
MY WAY
IT
WILL BE
MY WAY
OR NO WAY

AS YOU WATCH
OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS
THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES
AND HOW
THE CHURCHES WILL FARE
 THERE WILL
NOT
BE MANY LEFT

THERE WILL
NOT
BE MANY FAITHFUL CHRISTIANS
WHO CALL OUT MY NAME
AND SURRENDER ALL
TO DO MY WILL

BUT
WITH THIS FAITHFUL FEW
I
WILL BUILD
AND
I
WILL CREATE
AND
I
WILL DO
SOMETHING
BRAND NEW!

I
WILL CREATE
THE LAST LIVING EPISTLE
FROM MY HANDS
ALONE
THROUGH MY VOICE
ALONE
BY MY STANDARDS
AND
NONE OTHER!!!

LOOK FOR
ME
IN
YOUR TEMPLES

LOOK FOR
ME
IN YOUR PLACES
OF WORSHIP
AND
YOU WILL
NOT
FIND
ME
OFTEN VISITING

FOR
I AM
BUSY
CREATING
SOMETHING
NEW
AND
CALLING OUT
MY OWN
WHO
NO LONGER FIT
WITHIN THE STRUCTURE
AND
RULES
OF
THE CHURCH

I AM
CALLING OUT
PEOPLE FROM THE WORLD, TOO
AND
I
WILL GIVE THEM
WHAT YOU, MY CHURCH
REFUSED TO TAKE
YOU WERE EMBARRASSED
BY MY POWER
YOU WERE CONFUSED
BY THE NOISES
YOU WERE SURE
THAT I WOULD COME
SOME OTHER WAY

BUT YOU SEE
 I
CAME
TO HUMBLE YOU, FIRST
SO YOU COULD RECEIVE
ALL OF ME
BUT
THOSE WHO USED THEIR MINDS
INSTEAD OF LISTENING
TO
MY SPIRIT
                STOPPED MY MOVEMENT
  STOPPED MY VOICE
                 STOPPED MY WOOING
              STOPPED MY POWER

BUT
I
TELL YOU
TODAY
THE WORLD WON'T!!!
THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING
BEYOND
THEMSELVES

THEY DO
NOT
NEED
TO
STAY IN CONTROL
OF
THEIR ENVIRONMENT
AS
MY CHURCH DOES

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR
THE DIFFERENT AND THE WILD
AND
I AM
BOTH!!!

I
GAVE YOU A CHANCE
I
CAME
AND
I
SPOKE
AND
I
WOOED
AND
I
SHOUTED
AND
I
BROUGHT FORTH
"SIGNS AND WONDERS"

BUT
YOU DID
LITTLE
WITH IT
YOU REBUKED
THOSE WHO RECEIVED
"TOO MUCH"
OF
ME

YOU SHUNNED
THOSE WHO DRANK
THE LIVING WATER
UNTIL
THEY COULD DRINK
NO MORE

YOU MOCKED
AND
YOU RIDICULED
