Come and See


“Come and see.”
says the spider to the fly.
“Reach out and touch my web,
and you will surely die.”

“Come and see.”
says the serpent to Ms Eve.
“The fruit that makes you God,
will also make you leave.”

“Come and see.”
says El to Abram’s clan.
“I don’t even have a map,
just a daily travel plan.”

“Come and see.”
says I-AM to shepherd Mose.
“My fire has made the dirt
sacred to your very toes.”

“Come and see.”
says Yahweh to Pharaoh.
“The sea will wash away
the remnants of ego.”

“Come and see.”
says Dave to Philistia’s giant.
“I’ll rock your soul to sleep
and make your troops compliant.”

“Come and see.”
says Jesus to John’s guys.
“The kingdom has arrived.
See with your own eyes.”

“Come and see.”
says the woman at the well.
“The source of Living Water
did my life’s story tell.”

“Come and see.”
the gospel calls us now.
“Dare to let completely go.
The story will show you how.”

“Come and see.”
the Spirit whispers low.
“I’ll set your soul on fire,
and then God’s wind will blow.”

“Come and see.”
is all we have to say;
a three word invitation
to show others the way.

“Come and see
the way our lives have changed.
Our plans and expectations
are by God now rearranged.”

“Come and see.
It’s the only way to grow
into the very beings
who’re both known by God and know.”
