Our Labor

Confusion on all sides
people telling you
what to do, what to wear,
what to eat
making merchandise of you and me
But out of the darkness
came the Light
and shined on me
at the hour of decision
and I took up the work
He gave me
I began to build
The noise continued still
yet, I was steadfast,
unmovable
I saw the end
from where I was standing
and nothing was able to
compare to it
They whispered
in my ear
of the glory and pleasures
of this life-
all seven of them
spoke at once
Then I called to remembrance
the saints of old
how they declared to the world
that they were strangers and pilgrims
in the Earth; waiting for the Kingdom
and resisting against
the evil and the systems of darkness
because they knew
God was Faithful.


Amen


Shalam,
