Unlikely Voices

A stutterer, an adulterer,
former enemies, unclean people
a timid man, a youngest son
a haggard man, standing in a river
Roman centurions, slaves,
women, children, foreigners
All of these, vessels for God’s message
champions all, unlikely voices
Such are those called, real, weak
like maybe you and me
All of us are called;
will we do our part in our time?
