“Ordination”
“What sentence sums up what you say
To others mostly every day?
Or preach in church year in, year out –
The things you’re mainly all about?“So what’s your thing, there Stu, my friend?
Tell us, before we that way “Send”
You to do work for Jesus Christ,
Lest you think you must just be nice.”I have no clue, there, my friend, Mac;
“Mind if I fill in what you lack?”
Hey, this is your show – I am a pawn
So if you want, say on! say on!“From my perspective in the ranks,
You come beside (and I give thanks),
So when you leave, we better feel
About ourselves – and that’s the deal.”Could be, friend Mac, I’d never heard
That theory, but – thanks for that word;
That’s all that I recall back then –
His comment, just before their “Send”.“Encourager” is a word I’d use
Describing gift that’s mine – I muse
At how he saw that as a child
In growing up from something wild.And so it is today – too well
I love sometimes, folks sometimes tell
Me “Wisen up; for that’s not cool –
Your words as Jesus’ erstwhile fool”.Well, that’s not mine to here decide –
I see folks walk who should have died,
Except some word – encouragement –
From God through me – for that, I’m “Sent”.Thanks Lord for this.
