A Heart that is Changed - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

The prayer of God
what we must offer
the union of the law
the grace of our Lord

A heart that is changed
humbled by our sin
aware of the distance
between our clay
and our God

Wanting to be faithful
struggling daily
journeying with our Savior
yoked by our side

Letting him guide us
conforming our steps
faithfulness growing
as we walk each day
leading to heaven
work along the way

Sharing our witness
love for our neighbors
forgiving one another
following his example
