Which church corner should I go to
which is safe with green lights?
It seems every one has glue and goo
rays of sun and dark of night.
Being a follower - not my big skill
not comfy on the disciple ship
but I’m hungry and want my fill
trying to get God in my grip.
But I keep finding him all over the place
can’t capture and save him just for me
see him in a cat’s and a child’s face
he won’t be my prisoner. He is free
like his forgiveness and open heart.
So this ship is one I might board
the ship of joy about to depart
the cost of this trip I can afford.

I write this in response to something I read in Dietrich Bonhoffer’s book, The Cost of Discipleship.
