A Calling to Write – v3

Not something oblique,
something unclear,
not with words grandiose
a calling to write clear and terse.

Called to share freely from God
to the ends of the earth,
Comfort, hope, one truth revealed,
the love of Christ complete.

Poetry, beauty, love
in a straightforward voice,
a message from God
the words I hear in my heart

By God’s grace alone
we are made whole
our eternal lives restored
to wonders untold.
