Mk 7:31-37
EFFATA'! Open up!
Open up, because you life is locked.
Open up, because life is outside of you, knocking at your door.
Open up, because you have not heard it, and you have not - yet - welcomed it.
Open up!
Open up, to welcome
Open up, to let it in
Open up, to let me in
It's just you and me
Not "people's opinions"
Not "people's advises"
Not "people's expectations"
Open up, it's me, the one you waited for
You did not know me, but your heart waited for me.
Your father, long ago, heard me and run away
Not it's time to undo the ancient fault
Open up, do not hide!
Open up, enough to receive
Not yet to give. Keep it, treasure it
Your telling of today will start tomorrow
Today you listen
Oh, if you would listen!
Open up!
