Commissioned as He was

We are commissioned as he was
sent by God, by the empowering of the spirit
to continue his service, his servanthood,
taking up our cross, joining Christ’s yoke
walking with our creator, with our savior
tilling the fields, planting the seeds,
watering, nurturing, pruning,
the work in the garden never ending
working, toiling in the fields, in the vineyard
commissioned as he was to bring the good news
to help others become disciples as we are
to bring Christ to the ends of the earth
