Stepping Out in Love – v2


Our lives, in our beliefs
more than stepping out in faith
to truly act upon our convictions
the model of Christ
not standing in the mud
stepping out in love instead

Putting on Christ
the garment of mercy
listening to the Spirit
the voice of God
speaking from the depths,
from within our hearts

Going out, onto the waters
of uncertainty, of doubt
doing the master’s work
because we have been called
to us, as to Peter,
“come, follow me.”

Living love, the nature of God
for our family, our neighbors
being Christ to someone in need
Going as we are sent, humbly, as servants
projecting the light of love
into the darkness of the world
