Not merely speaking - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

When thinking of God’s grace
his love, his sacrifice
his presence with us
we should be singing
not merely speaking
sharing the message joyfully
of how loves you and me

That we would be fed
in the words of the scripture
the lesson for our lives
in the story of our mothers,
our fathers, those who came before
leading us in our faith
in him we are restored

Not merely speaking
shouting praises
to the end of the earth
sharing Christ with our neighbor
those who do not know
a way to the creator
through the savior’s sacrifice

Prayer of Dedication:
“Abundant God, we thank you for the jars of our lives
that are constantly being filled. We offer our gifts to you,
that others may know of your abundance and grace.
Fill the hungry with good things. Lift up the oppressed.
Watch over the stranger and comfort the lonely.
Through our gifts, may we do likewise.
In the name of Christ the Comforter, we pray. Amen”
