As a Christian – v2

As a Christian
a word too often stated
a cudgel, a bludgeon
a badge of honor
we give ourselves
wanting to be someone
worthy of the name
words matched by my deeds
offering a hand
to anyone in need
Using my skills,
my gifts from above
help to everyone I can
An open hand
as the words from my heart
my hands, my feet, my voice
equal, no one set apart.
