Culling – v3

Discerning God’s message
from the competing voices we hear;
Some leading us away,
some drawing us near
to the path of God
to the way of light

Culling the wheat
from the chaff, the tares,
that which should be
burned in the fire;
Gathering in the grain
that we would ever be filled

God’s message for us
Christ’s presence right by our side
needing to be still ourselves
that we would hear God’s voice;
By the Spirit, we are empowered to go,
to serve, to be agents of God’s change

God’s love turning the world around
to heed the Master’s call;
Going where we are sent
doing all we can
to share the message
the truth of God’s love
