We walk with a limp, like Jacob –
and yet, we walk.
We speak with faltering lips, like Moses –
and yet, we speak.
We fall into sin, like David –
and yet, we get back up.
We get depressed, like Elijah –
and yet, we rise.
We deny Christ, like Peter –
and yet, we are restored.
We wane in our faith, like Mary –
and yet, he still calls us family.
We get distracted, like Martha –
and yet, he always brings us back.
We get frustrated in ministry, like Paul –
and yet, it can be our most sublime bliss.
Who are we?
We are his people –
flawed, feeble falterers –
but kept faithful nonetheless
by the one who turns our weakness into strength,
and never leaves our side.
Who are we?
We are his.
