A House of Prayer

Would that we could be,
are sure that we are, that our place of worship
that our hearts are open, that are doors are free
that our church is a house of prayer
speaking in ways that the world will understand
a message clear and ready for all to hear
that our table, our hearts, our lives
do nothing, not anything
to stand in another’s way
that all feel welcome, valued
no matter their circumstances,
that we would welcome all,
just as Christ did
