for the healing of the world – v2


we are given gifts to offer
this is our divine calling;
we are not to be timid
sharing God’s message of love

we are called from our prisons
our places of safety, of comfort
the defenses, the masks
we use to protect our lives

we are called from our hiding
into God’s holy light, to journey
to use the gifts God gives us
for the healing of the world

God’s grace is enough to save us
to heal our own brokenness;
we are meant to be out sharing
offering God’s message of love
