Simply

Together, living for God
simply, in a community
the saints before us
from the very beginning
joining their brothers, their sisters
those who share our belief
those who need our comfort
the healing only God can bring
the martyrs, the missionaries,
the apostles, toiling in the fields
A message from our elders
to let go of the things of this earth
Our eyes on the Christ,
our brother who walked this earth
following their example
so that others may share our new birth
