something to put on
to cover our bodies
not a mask, not a costume
a living fabric, the flesh
of Christ
we are to put on the armor
the living body of Christ
we are to be authentic
true in our walk
nothing of darkness, of the
world
we must let the real Jesus
shining through us, burning
we are to share, to shine
Jesus
leaving our costumes
our masks on the shelf
only through us will others
see Jesus
alive now, in the world
we must bear witness,
sharing Jesus, not a mask
the blessed truth
of his coming at last
