Instructions in Faith


Tell them
there is a shelter,
a voice that will calm
the storm.
Assure them of His dominion
over every trial in life.

Teach them
that wrongs are forgiven,
never made right.
Sin is a wound
healed
by grace,
not man's desire.

Instruct
for the glory of the one
who freed
your soul.
Take no pride
in the faith
of a single student.

Show them
the sainted life.
Walk the precise path
you preach.
Bear responsibility
for those you unify
and divide.

Lord,
often in our desire to share
Your word
we preach the fabric
of ourselves
without wearing the garment
You wove for us.
