With Honesty

Sharing, with honesty
unvarnished, the words from God
sometimes uncomfortable,
a mirror to our face
Sometimes joyous
a smile upon our hearts
Worship transforming
changing our day to day
with power, with honesty
only in that way

Christ in his ministry
spoke truth to the ones in power
and showed the simple folks
he was the way to life
His humble service
to his fellow man
a model of worship of life
that leads to our heavenly home

Trusting that the words will come
open to the master’s call
speaking to our fellow man
what the spirit prints upon our hearts
a path made more straight
Moving on day by day
on to a higher plane
seeking the Lord
in all we do and say
