TIME TO SERVE

You saw your neighbour
hungry
hungry for many things
Did you give what you could?

You saw your friend
in prision
the prison of her soul
Did you visit her?

You saw your sister's
nakedness
all her faults unveiled
did you clothe her
with your love?

You saw a multitude of people
and there wasn't one
who did not need a servant
did you give yourself?

Jesus did.
