‘Lord’
is the word we use,-
have used this long time past:
‘Lord’ has these other words
that speak to us today;-
our
‘Coach’
our
‘Manager’,
-on the field with us-
our
‘Governor’
of each day’s life,
the training, discipline,
and ways of being
that are His
in us:
We listen keenly for we want
His heart
in us,-
to be his Team
upon the field of life,
he by our side,
involved.
When we are pressed, we try the harder still:
when we are down, we gather to a force,
with him as
Manager:
we hear his every word,
we watch his ways,
we look into his face,
and then we play the game of all our lives.
Lead Leader, and we will be led, by You!
( 19th Sunday of the Year, C, – the Faithful Servant- Luke 12:32-48)
