The Vigil of His Faithfulness

Our weak piety
unable to be faithful
to abide by the law
to live righteously

God waits patiently
the vigil of his faithfulness
present in our day to day
hope we will turn to him
to change our sinful ways

A seed alone planted
when we come to believe
needing care and nurture
if we are to succeed

Guided by the Spirit
the example of Christ’s life
sent into the wilderness
to share his message of love
