Yoked with Them - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Bringing them into your presence
our neighbors into your courts
yoking our lives with them
all of us together
becoming the body
the living body of Christ

Joining with each other
using our gifts as a team
pulling together
under the same yoke
sharing one message
the grace, the love of God

Real when we go
out into the world
working together
our friends and our neighbors
becoming the hands and feet
the mirror of Christ
to the whole world

“Today I heard someone use the word "withreach" instead of outreach.
She meant that instead of just reaching out to serve our neighbors,
we should reach out with them to make the world a better place.
I really like that.” June 28, 2010
