Passing the baton on to others – v2

In ending this season

this time in ministry

handing the baton off

to some unnamed others

to ones close by

to continue the work

what has been started

serving together

in this time of God’s calling

We all are the others

those who have been appointed

named and unnamed

each one based on their calling

to serve where God plants us

sure of His wisdom

that all will be right

all part of God’s planning

in His time alone
