My Journey to God

Tribute

Blest be those among us
Who spread His Word today,
Wise souls at one with God
Who speak the why and way.

In sackcloth or in silk
They spend their lives to tell
The wisdom of God’s wealth,
How deep His grace-filled well.

Their weary hands and feet,
Their love enfolding all,
Leave the world an echo
Of God’s embracing call.

By Dorothy M. Colgan
