Something to Do

Church
not something
but something to do,
informing others
of God’s love,
his grace poured out
washing over all of us

Church
how to walk in the world
that we would be,
more than to love
to live in worship
ever praising God
in how we walk on the path

Church
going into the world
walking, more to do
helping, caring,
going to our neighbor
hurting, lying in the road
a stranger, truly our brother
our sister, our children
going to where they are
