We serve
a god
who loves more our work
to responsibly take care
of the world that god created
the god expects us to serve
weak, hungry, naked, thirsty, broken
remain alert to respond
we must forget this
because there may come a time
when our ability to “do for god”
is torn from us
by health
or failure
or unforeseen catastrophe
It is in those hours that the god wants us
to remember that the god loves us
for what we do for said god
Once we call on the name
nothing: trouble or hardship or persecution
or famine or nakedness or danger or sword
Will ever again rest
lose sight of this unconditional love
hold on to that hope
When our labor is gone
the reason we exist
to be
