Today God looks upon us as a proud Father
and says, as He said of Abraham and Sarah,

‘IT am not ashamed to be your God.”

OUR GOD IS LIKE AN EAGLE

When Israel camped in Sinai,
God spoke, and Moses heard;
This message tell the people,

And give them this, my Word:

“From Egypt I was with you,
I bore you on my wing;

The whole of your great nation

“Just as a mother eagle,
Who helps her young to fly,
Iama mother to you,

Your needs I will supply;
And you are as my children,
My own, who hear my voice,
Iama mother to you,

If God is like an eagle

Who helps her young to fly;

And God ts also father,

Then what of you and I?

We have no fear of labels,

We have no fear of roles;

God blends them and trancends them,

Our God is not a woman,

Our God is not a man;

Our God ts both and neither,
Our God is I WHO AM.

From all the roles that bind us
Our God has set us free;

What freedom does God give us?

From slavery I did bring.” The people of my choice.” We seek the self same goals. The freedom just to be!
