Body of Christ
Often broken:
Corruption
Manipulation
Exploitation
 
Resolutions:
Return to identity
Focus on the poor
Establish again its vocation
 
Failure brings:
Loss of spirit
Jealousy
Power games
Pettiness
 
True vision
Concern
Love
Peace
 
Remembering:
We are parts of the whole
Need for healing
Consideration for all

You play the hand
Knowing all about rules
What you will do is
Entirely up to you
 
    Some will say they
    Didn’t get the cards
    Find others who agree
    Sit around on their lards
 
You wake early, eager
To play the game
Get ready for opportunity
To claim your share of fame
 
    Watching the others react
    Can they say, “Imagine that”?
    While they tend to amalgamate
    I become the fat cat
 
Still playing, praying and working
Like wind forming a snowy drift
Remember what my cards were
Thankful for the wonderful gift
 
    The losers begin to wonder
    Is this all there’ll ever be?
    Can we possibly do better?
    They finally begin to see
 
I speak of possibilities
They put away their fear
Finally ready to listen
Success is somewhere near
