All are Called

To co-create with a dancing God.
To whirl and worship, sing
and write. To draw and sew,
to teach and guide. To count
and list and plan and buy
the resource we need as we
reach for the sky and we pray
to the one who calls us nigh.

We need creatives and planners
and friends. We need welcomers,
dancers, and preachers. To mend
broken souls we need healers
with balm. To lift flagging spirits
we need wineskins with wine.
To draw all together takes an
abundance of Joy. To serve

in God's world we need you and I.
Ordinary, flawed, but open
to change, ready to answer
and soar on the wind of the spirit
that flitted across the dark
and the deep and brought us
to life and wakes us from sleep.
Today we are called: come follow me!
