Only to be Faithful – v3

“I ask you only to be faithful”

such was the message,

the embodiment of grace

real-world grace of God

living in the words the minister heard

by the Sea of Galilee, easing

a balm to his troubled soul.

This message from God

what He asks of us,

this is what He has always asked

from the beginning of the covenant

written on stone, on the hearts of man

that we would be loyal,

that we would be faithful.

That we would be transformed

that our hearts, our lives

would be changed

in loving relationship

with our God, our Father

that we would heed the call

the call of the Lord for our lives.

God’s cry to us simple

now as it was then, from the beginning,

That we would go where He sends us

and do all for God’s glory

that we would not tire in the fields

in the vineyards, where we are placed,

always doing God’s work and God’s will.
