with my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness
to all generations." Psalm 89:1
we fumble the faith
handed to us and
mumble under our breath
when it comes to mercy,
we grumble about how
you waste grace on others
while we tumble over our feet
trying to get away from all who
you send our way for help,
we jumble all the words
you give us to whisper
to the ones who need comfort
and chumble at the justice
you would offer to others
until it is crumbs in the world.
yet
you continue to compose
new songs for us, hoping
the music might catch our attention
and the words might cause
our apathy to crumble.
