Walk in the Woods
Abstraction: My Honest Prayer
Time to let Love be what it is, our great covering and unifier.
Lord, I’m going inside now.
Give me the grace and humility and kindness to be part of your church.
I can hear the shouts and amens from the parking lot.
There’s storm clouds overhead, dark and cold.
I can’t make out the words but I can feel the rhythm of the music from where I stand.
The wind is starting to shake the tree tops.
I’ve been standing in the this parking lot for twenty years.
Listened to the songs and felt the beat.
Even said my own prayers.
I learned a lot out here on my own, how to stand, to love.
But this storm is new, unlike any I’ve seen.
Now is not the time to be cynical, afraid, or self-righteous.
We need each other. I need them, and they need me.
Of course, I’m worried. I ain’t them.
We read the Gospel but see a different Savior.
Their’s is a harsh and cruel God. And, needs evil men to accomplish His will.
Mine needs us, His people. Not a pussy grabber.
Still, the thunder once distant, is now getting close.
Time to let Love be what it is, our great covering and unifier.
Lord, I’m going inside now.
Give me the grace, humility, and kindness to be part of your church.
