nothing they didn’t know
warned, told to be silent
ridicule, banishment
imprisonment, death
the prophet before the king
a dangerous place to be
steeled by the message
by the certainty of their calling
they spoke of God,
of the sins of the nation
the failings of the king
an urgent indictment
plain and clear
not to be silenced
those led by the Spirit
heralds of our Lord
speaking out to the world
the message of love
of saving by grace
the lamb for us all
our brother, our master,
our friend
