Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Breathing the words of our faith
the liturgy of communion
not merely reading the words
but praying the Great Thanksgiving

The words coming alive
the win and the bread
the sacrifice of our Lord
urgent, real in our head

The suffering of the Lord
his choice to die for me
real in the pray this day
in the family of our faith

As David was praying
“The Great Thanksgiving”,
not merely reading the words
