With humility, in repentance

With humility, in repentance,
Transparency in this moment
A crisis in the faith, in the body,
Not focused on yourselves,
On protecting the wolves,
Who have hidden as shepherds,
Devouring the sheep, the flock…
 
You must remember your purpose,
As elders, as leaders, in this moment,
Not focused on yourselves,
The bottom line, But on the body,
The church, God’s kingdom, the harm
You are doing, silent, unrepentant,
Devouring the sheep, the flock…
