Lo-Ammi

The indictment of God
the child of a faithful man
Lo-Ammi (not my people)
turning his face from them

Are we really so different
claiming a Christian nation
yet refusing to be faithful
to walk as our savior lived

The thread too weak
feeble steps only
claiming a belief
but walking in selfishness

Lost and wandering
a faith as thin as rice paper
failing to proclaim
the love of the risen God
