I will Proclaim Jesus - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Maybe not in the river
standing like John
maybe not in the courts
of almighty God

Here in this place
standing on my soapbox
finding a way
to put the words into play

I will proclaim Jesus
the light of the nations
each of us carrying
a bit of our Lord

Using my gifts
what I have been given
a witness to God’s presence
lifting my trembling heart

God’s love evident
all around us
if we would be open
to see our Master’s hand

God right with us
hearing our prayers
answering, calling
if we will hear His voice calling
guiding our feet
on the journey of our lives
