the poor from the dust
from the fields, the forests
into our homes
the call to honor
to elevate our neighbors
to lift up the body
a call to all of us
the poor among us
our sisters, our brothers
those we do not know yet
the strangers, the others
so is Christ’s call
following His example
lifting them up
on our ascent to Zion
on our journey home.

Habakkuk
3:17-19 (NIV)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Habakkuk+3%3A17-19&version=NIV
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.

18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
19 The
Sovereign Lord is my
strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.”

Habakkuk
3:17-19 (rewritten by me, one version)
17
Though the mills may be shuttered
and the forests are empty,
though the fields do not provide
their bounty, their harvest,
though the young are departing
for greener pastures,
18
yet I rejoice in my God
I will be joyful in Christ my Savior.
19
The Creator of the universe is my rock
I am like the deer, its hooves
steady on the Mountain.
