Raymond A. Foss Poems

When we look at our hands
do we see the scars of the nails
the sacrifice of Christ
Do we feel the tissue
what He did for us

Are we truly his hands and feet
our bodies mere gloves
filled with Christ
do others see love
when they look upon us

With His Calloused Hands

Not a member of the elite
never sitting, studying in the Temple
working, with his calloused hands
the nets, the water, this was his life

Beginning the church, this foundation
ordinary men, laity, common
spreading the word
the truth of God’s love
to the ends of the earth
