I Will

Not the fleeting, fashionable
cute and cuddly – I Do.
No, this isn’t the thing we’re talking about

I Will.
Power of God, commitment continuing
Covenant people responding in-kind.

The God of Creation offered Himself
in sacrifice and in Communion
A perpetual relationship,
Loving, nurturing

All we have to do
Is answer His –
I Will –
with our own –
I will.

It is an invitation of grace
first held out for Abraham
now open to all nations
through Jesus Christ,
our Lord and Savior

I will;
Will you?
