Dirt & Spit
I live by daily participating
and not by distant gesticulating.
I live by putting love into action,
not by singing for holy intervention.
I live by getting both hands soiled,
not sanitised and kept unspoiled.
If you want to follow the Nazarene
you can't keep your hands wet wipe clean.
This is life as he envisaged -
living like we're one big village.
Roll up your sleeves to each elbow,
let's serve together and not alone.
This is life as Jesus did it -
all hands-on, with dirt and spit!
A stolen idea from a open mike night: Jesus worked with dirt and spit. John 9:6.
Thanks Andy Freeman.
