Cross Over the Jordan


Selections from Devarim/Words in Vayelech  Deut. 31.1-30

As you cross over the Jordan, God crosses at your head
As we transcend, we are crowned with divinity

Destroying the nations already there
Fear, worry, greed, dullness, criticism, sense of lack and self-righteousness
                                                                                                      
And the invincible Joshua goes over before you.
Now be strong and of good courage
It’s Yah God who goes with you and God doesn’t fail or forsake you

To the Joshua in us God is saying: Go with the people into the land 
Cause them to inherit it. I go before you; fear nothing
Joshua: yod  heh  vahv  shin ayin, meditate on these letter symbols

Teach this song to your children and students
A song of witnessing    Observing without judging
A song bringing us into a land flowing with milk and honey

A song never forgotten for all generations, revealing
God is the witness, the omniscient and the omnipresent

Assemble all the people and speak these teachings
That all may hear and feel awe before God
And be moved to walk in the Way

And children to come will also hear and learn the Way
In doing this, you will live long in the land over the Jordan
A Promised Land of illumination

Take this book of wisdom-instruction and put it
Beside the Ark of the Covenant with God  in your heart

Eat your fill.  As you wax fat    as you prosper be careful not to
Turn to other gods but look within for the Levities
The holiness within bearing the Ark of the Covenant

Assemble all your elders and leaders and call heaven and earth
To witness this revelation that … I am alive and in your midst

Moses is writing the song of the Torah this very day
Teaching the letters and words to us even now
And listen: Singing this song into our ears and into our hearts
