An Altar Call

Stepping out of your pew
out of our assigned seating
moved by the message,
to step out in faith
out of our comfort zone
and kneel at the rail,
at your altar Lord,
to take on the mantle
the yoke you have for us
to do your will and your work
now and in this place.
Oh we are timid and slow,
sometimes a bit stubborn.
Help us Lord, to walk on that water
fearless, eyes on you
When you call

Inspired by the words of Oprah Winfrey,
this weekend, in Columbia, SC,
in explaining why she is acting now
to support Barack Obama for President

I will have to visit your site again. Nice to see I am not alone in this this world about expressing myself via poetry. While our styles are different, your stuff is good.
