He spoke of Jesus, his humble life,
of the fisherman Peter, of Paul, falling off his horse
But he read of Dorcas, Tabitha, her works
for the kingdom, her faithfulness,
her setting up her own welfare system
when there was none
A widow, ministering to the poor,
rich, out of her poverty, sharing
sewing, knitting, giving to others
reaching out, in her love, His love
providing for the least of these
in His name
