We are one

But many

Linked in the love and passion

Of life’s great ordeals

With wounds that always heal

And leave us sturdy like scar tissue

Resilient and able to stand

To obey

The will of a gracious Lord

The commands of His books

The guidance of His prophets

Messengers

Sent to give us tidings

Warnings

Glimpses

Of heaven

Of answers to our questions

Of anecdotes

Cures

For the diseases within the world in which we live
