Bear with one another through love,
strive to preserve the unity of the spirit
through the bond of peace:
one body and one Spirit… Ephesians 4:3-5
Hey You
Hey you, parked in the pew
I’m talking to you.
Are you a member or a customer,
one of a kind or next-in-line?
Don’t just bide your time
be one of us.
Be one who fits in
not like a coin in a roll
but a grape on a bunch,
juicy and nestled.
Never mind your retail value.
We know your real value,
We know God’s nickname for you,
“Beloved.”
What have you got better to do
than lose yourself in love?
You’d be happy to be the least
sitting at the table for this feast.
Hey you, parked in the pew
is there room for someone next to you?
Hey You!
