Acting Justly with Our Neighbors – v3

We are called, God calls us
individually and collectively
to truly live our faith,
to live our faith out loud
acting justly with our neighbors
treating others as we would want ourselves

The yardstick is easy
if we could be behind the lens
if we could watch our steps
seeing how we live
from the other side
the truth of our walk

The measure of our lives
the name we cherish
the name of Jesus that we claim
children of His flock
treating others with love
in every step of our walk.
