Like John

Laity, like John
able to speak, to share
stand for the message,
speak as messengers, witnesses
to the savior’s ways
raising our voices, out in the darkness
into the wilderness, repent!

God so loved the world,
in spite of our sin, repent
we may find saving grace
in the sacrifice of the son
in the love of the father
the indwelling spirit
guiding our days

Like John we are called
to be the hands, the feet,
the voice of the disciples
the apostles of our brother
the sheep of his fold
the fishermen sent into the world
a harvest of souls to reap
for the glory of God
