Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Not in our words
the stuff of our offerings
not in our songs
offered up to God
None of these matter
if our way is not worthy
if we live for ourselves
failing to seek justice
if our climb to the top
leaves carnage in our wake
God sees our actions
how we walk in this life
this is the message
on which we will be judged
Do not see riches
following graven idols
offering false ritual
But walk in the light
follow God’s commandments
let justice roll on like a river,
righteousness like a never-failing stream!
