As a Christian – v3

“As a Christian. . .”
a phrase, 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

acting on my faith
using my skills,
my gifts from above
help to everyone I can
An open hand in love

as the words from my heart
my hands, my feet, my voice
equal, no one set apart
loving as he loved us,
no one left out
