Words of Power – v2

“Vision”, “mission”, “goals”, and “tasks”

action words, of power

of purpose, of calling

defining who we aspire to be

what we must do

how we will carry things out

over time, in this place now;

A pyramid of thought

putting feet to His promise

doing Christ’s work

in love for our neighbors

spreading the seed, the message

with the blessings of the Holy Spirit

In the vineyard, in the field

this troubled world,

this place we call home -

hard soil, granite ledge,

and good rich soil

the soil of a young heart

an open heart, seeking,

old members and new-born hope

white and black, yellow and brown

together striving, yearning

to do His will in this place

held in our care but

for this season alone
