let us be examples, witnesses – v3

let us be witnesses, examples
beacons of Christ’s holy light
let us shine into this darkness
showing the love of God
light in this dark world.

let us be examples, witnesses
beacons of Christ’s holy light
prophets of the Most High
servants of Almighty God
seated on His throne.

let us be witnesses, examples
beacons of Christ’s holy light
let us shine into this darkness
showing the love of God
light in this dark world.

let us be examples, witnesses
beacons of Christ’s holy light
by our daily living, our lives
doing the work we are called to
with our gifts, our talents.

let us be witnesses, examples
beacons of Christ’s holy light
let us shine into this darkness
showing the love of God
light in this dark world.

mothers of the Bible – v2

mothers of the Bible
windows on faith
shattered, broken
just like all of us
no better, no worse

mothers of the Bible
showing us love, faith,
partners with the fathers
sometimes widows, others
knitting God’s story

mothers of the Bible
to be honored, challenged
useful clay vessels
just like all of us
no better, no worse

works and faith together

works and faith together
saved, moving forward
filled with God’s love;
not to earn grace
but in response
seeking to serve
to share God’s love.
