Analysis of Why church schism?
Can we just leave out
What you do
What you don’t
With the Lord?
In the Elect, assuredly
Or a job to stay holy.
Or some prophetic word?
All these things
Making much for schism.
The bright bonds
Of the Cross.
The courage of
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.
