Say Amen

May everyone be able to say amen,
Our goals the same, to glorify your name.
For that, O Lord, I place both life and limb
In your good hands — all that I am, the sum
Of me — do what you must to purify
And make me useful for the News of Christ.
So tear away the dross, tip over the gods,
Rebuild this life of straw, of cheap charades.
Let the Lord Jesus remain, so chip away
At names, traditions, ambitions that betray
The pattern you gave us. Here am I, O God,
The creature in need of your defining touch.

  1. I believe I am on safe ground saying few really understand how much you and Vicki have given up for the work you have done for Christ and the kingdom of heaven! Even I would have difficulty understanding that. God bless!
