Reflections Luke 3: 7-14

Do not presume on the past to secure the future
Do not presume on your family for your faith
Do not presume that you are where you have not entered.

Come away, come away, from the old assumptions.


The bloodline will not save, only the blood,
And the bloodstained hands are guilty.

Come away, come away, from the old assumptions.

Remember your forefathers, remember they said
That Jerusalem would be spared for the sake of the temple,
And Jerusalem was not spared,
Nor the temple left standing.
Can it not happen again?

Come away, come away, from the old assumptions.

Abraham is your father?
What does it matter,
Unless you have Abraham’s faith?

Come away, come away, from the old assumptions.

Come be washed clean, enter the river again.
You have not kept the Law, nor kept the commandments;
Come be washed clean, enter the river again,
Be prepared, be prepared, for the Kingdom is coming!


Come away, come away, from the old assumptions.
