Community,
Speaks life to the lifeless
Listens to the unheard voices
Helps the helpless while
Uniting together as one
Community,
Reaps what it sows
Sowing seeds that grow roots
So deep that society sees no fruits
But the fruits, are flourishing within
An underground work grinding
For an outer produce
To harvest in due season.
Community,
Picks both the rose and the thorn
Knowing each petal and prick
Plays a part in providing
Each piece to the puzzle
Jesus,
Communes with us to bring unity
Within a chaotic world
Watching is just part of the problem
He calls us to imitate
His example of community.
So what are we doing
In order to pick up our cross
And lay down our life for a friend?
