Faith is a Walk

Fully broken I stand content
To live a life of dying
Fearing man, not so much
As fearing my self and deception

When the deep calls for response
Will I have one word of wisdom
When questioned as to my life
Can my death be a worthy defense

While theologians easily divide fear and faith
My heart is not so divided
Am I in pursuit of God’s ways
Or am I lazy

Called to do what I can not do
Gathering people when I delight not to
Broken by self awareness now
More broken by justice atoned

A public boast is a little thing
Who will stand firm in dark nights and isolated space
In this life of death to self
Brothers, Father, Spirit; guide me
