held by the chaos

so many of our neighbors

our sisters and brothers

are held by the chaos

stung by the poison

by the grip of world

there are too many of us

in Sheol, in hell,

lost in the dark places

so many are captured

by the noise, the chaos

of the world around us

we are to lead them

these strangers, these others

our sisters and brothers

to the rock, above the waters

to stand with them

on the firm foundation

we are to stand with them

in the light of our God
