Uncommon Church Visit
Never before been here
But today it just clicks
Been having much trouble
And I hope Church might fix.
Tried it online before.
But community is lost.
Sitting in jammies
And having some toast.
Folks at the door
All smile, shaking
Hands too.
Seems like assembly
Line, pushing on through.
Shown to a middling bench.
Old Lady there.
Eyes seem all sparkling.
In Jesus’ care.
She catches name
Right quick.
Goes back to prayer.
Can’t hear the words
Uplifted; Heaven met there.
Seems like a proper place
Doffing my Load.
Comfort and confidence
Coming from God.
Folks are all fallible.
What’s new with that?
Some honest searching, yes
Uplift and chat.
