Poem based on Luke 7:36-8:3

I came there every Sunday

I was faithful

singing the hymns and praying the prayers

being swept up in all

the joy

---- love

-------- friendship

------------ community

----in that place

feeling

knowing in my heart

the love of Christ (Your)

through the caring of others

gathered in conversation and coffee

sometimes on the way home

I would wonder

I would read the paper

and wonder

hear the news

and wonder (Sins)

if

there was a God of love

A Christ

one day I came face to face with

who I was

face to face with the one I call me

I dropped to my knees

and cried

at my shallow life

at the pain I had given

and had been given

and I cried Lord!

---- (Are Forgiven)

Save me.

---- I need you

and through the prayerful tears came relief

and the God of Love

and I felt

---- (Go In)

peace  (Peace)
