Analysis of And what church do you?
Can we just leave out
What you do
What you don’t
With the Lord.
In the Elect
Or a job to stay holy.
Or some prophetic word?
All these things
Making much for a schism.
The bright bonds
Of the Cross.
From the beauty of serving
That result in Love’s loss.
Jesus sighs as
He watches cracks
When we lose sight
Of Spirit as Boss.
