Failing to Follow Christ

The indictment of our faith
Failing to follow Christ
Not setting him as the example
The Guidestar of our life
Wandering far from home
Away from God’s loving care
Following earth’s treasure
Thinking we will find it there

Needing to be simple
Humble, at God’s feet,
Hearing his message to us
Where we are to lead
How we are to be faithful
To our Master’s call
Walking beside him
Lifting us when we fall

Not judging one another
Lifting our neighbors up
Giving them living water
Filling their cup
Sharing the message freely
With the gifts we have inside
Being salt, humble
Yet sharing the light of Christ
