Like a second layer of skin is her faith
right out there, the outer edge of her
exuding from her pores, from her being
Proclaiming the good news, living the Word
sharing her faith, her joy, not letting the world,
life’s little problems steal her joy
Being the faith she believes, sharing her gifts
her spirit, His grace, answering His call
open and honest, ready to do His work
Be His hands, now
right out there, the outer edge of her
exuding from her pores, from her being
Proclaiming the good news, living the Word
sharing her faith, her joy, not letting the world,
life’s little problems steal her joy
Being the faith she believes, sharing her gifts
her spirit, His grace, answering His call
open and honest, ready to do His work
Be His hands, now

ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that the poet says faith is like another layer of skin, when I usually think of faith as something personal or within. But it shows just how much a person can feel connected to their belief. And "Being the faith she believes" just shows that everyone has a right to have faith in what they want, and others shouldn't really force a certain belief on everyone. Faith should be something very personal, and luckily, we now live in a world where you can believe in what you want, freely. (I take it back... I'm sure you wouldn't be aloud to believe in people Charles Manson and run around killing people... but other than that!...)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cristina, it is very interesting how the poet mentions faith being like another layer of skin when I too though it was somthing personal. I find this poem to be telling us that this girl's faith was so strong nothing could bring it down or bring her down. When he said its like a second layer of skin, its somthing you can see... we see eachothers skin... so if we were to look at her we would see this from a mile away...She's different because of her faith and is going out into to world to do her calling...
