Voices

And jesus gave us freedom From our past sins So we took our souls to god And asked him “how to keep a soul clean?” And in his silence we heard our answers And when we preached them to the rest In his absence You heard our conviction And our faith was reaffirmed In the hearing of our own words And the silence of god.

Beautiful poem of fair, Samir. Especially love the line about hearing the answers "in his silence." God speaks to us in many ways, thought we may never hear his voice. Love, Carolyn
