Evangelical Fails (Tell His Story)

 Please, dear Lord, just let us rest

as this brand new year begins.

Please don't send another test

to remind us of our sins,

of how we stood while others turned

away from Love and Grace.

Our shuttered hearts should well have burned

resolute, that they might see your face.

We fear, I think what we'd be called

when You call us to evangelize,

and I believe You are appalled,

and golden tears form in Your eyes

to fall upon Heaven's bright street 

where His hope and despair meet.

Sylvia wags her tail in agreement, but then, she never shies away from encouragement, especially where ice cream's concerned.
