A Plumb Line for their Speaking

The measure of our witness
the prophetic voice
do they sound like Jesus
what we know of our God
a plumb, a measure
the scales for their speaking
are the prophets sharing
a message of love
something worth repeating,
emulating, follow
do their words sound as those
they are raised from scripture
speaking to us, a message
infused with God’s Spirit
sharing with us
a glimpse of God’s love
