Worship Manifesto

Present in and out
words spoken which we can’t doubt
“in spirit and truth”

we’re moving forward
making choices that are right
“living and holy”

helping the helpless
making right the world’s messes
“widows and orphans”

we’re not pretending
our souls bowing and bending
“broken and contrite”

=Corporate Worship=

On Thursday nights I worship God
eating breakfast food and watching
sitcoms with friends.

On Sunday mornings I fill
Moleskine journals as I worship God
bic round-stick style.

And sometimes on Wednesdays
if the weather is good
we worship God together with frisbees
in public parks.

You worship by singing of
your love forever.

And once someone told me it’s impossible
to worship God without an organ
and at least two trumpets.

While I prefer
silence
fresh air
green grass.
Just me and my broken heart.
