Culling the faithful
setting up criteria
by human measure
judging other people
Forgetting divine grace
God’s redeeming love
cleaving to the law
as if that can restore
False measures only;
under a new covenant
the blood of the lamb
healing us by faith
Only to believe, to follow,
baptized into the waters
guiding by the Spirit’s
calling
out into the world
Doing our part, our calling,
using our gifts, our talents
sharing our witness
God’s grace in the days
all the days of our lives
