Starting with the disciples
Christ walking as a man
the fire starting
the flames building
by the Sea of Galilee
The fire burning
rising with the tide
spreading from the center
as He walked the land
these fishermen by His side
Going through the land
the ancient land of His
people
preaching, healing in God’s
name
offering hope to them all
sharing the love of God
Following the Master’s plan
in His living, in his dying,
taking on our sin
dying in our place
that we may truly live
A Savior, a Shepherd
for those who were fishermen
following our Master
we like them before us
doing all we can
Spreading the Good News
of God’s endless grace
to the whole world
to the ends of the earth
for the whole human race

A Savior A Shepherd
on reading the start of the following poem
as I posted it to www.christianpoetry.org
today
-------------------
A Fisherman
A fisherman,
a carpenter
on these we built
a church
ordinary men, like
all the rest
called to serve
the Lord
Out of their
comfort zone
into the desert,
the wilderness
out on the water
wherever they were
called
No education, no
standing or station
doing the work of
the savior
standing in his
place
Speaking truth to
the powerful
going in his holy
name
Spreading the
love,
the word of God
down to our
present age
