we are called to be saints

we are called to be saints
to be apostles
like them who followed
who trusted in Jesus
we are called to be disciples
to leave our nets
our old lives on the shoreline
to cast other nets
we are called to bear witness
to carry our light
to shine it brightly
in the dark
we are called to testify
to proclaim Christ
risen, living
walking with us yet
