what are we going to do

and the heaviest weight comes upon you
a weight without weight
a weight without breath
a weight too heavy to carry

not having food
not having friends
not having fellowship

washing clothes in the tub
seeing laundry pile up
adding to the weight

buried alive without hope

when the church is unattractive
and one feels safer without

when you trust just a little
and let down your guard
heaven may sneak in
and give you hope

a church without walls
a church inside the heart
a church that values friendship
above legalism

there’s so much love to learn
so much love to receive
so much love to release

in a smile
in a ride
in a laugh
in a hug
in a conversation

showing others the Way
