Be Bold

Boldly acting, without fear
a stranger, on the dangerous road
stopping, making himself vulnerable
reaching out to the man
lying, bleeding, dying on the ground
risking so much, this enemy of the people
Through him, his example,
the Messiah, the one told of in the prophets,
through this outcast the Lord bears witness
Be bold to help your neighbors,
risking to heal, to love, to care
even your enemy, you are to love them all,
just as the ancient words said
Just as God commanded.
