Touching Lives
Let’s express loving touch power
delighting every family member
marked by trust we can offer
securing home with peace-cover
against infidelity wrecker.
Let’s show respect-touch in our truth-declaration
as we strive to build lives with dedication
teaching along virtuous instruction
nurturing next generation
while learning from failures’ frustration.
Let’s be generous with touch of encouragement
midst our care-giving engagement
sharing the Saviour’s divine involvement
declaring Gospel along steadfast commitment
geared by His compassion-fulfillment.
Let’s cheer with approval touch during work partnership
along busyness of business’ entrepreneurship
knowing that co-labourers aid for fruitful followership
enabling the performance of faithful servant-leadership
in our united blissful stewardship.
Let’s guard our fellowship-touch against bond-breaking
since we are brethren of same sovereign King
God’s citizens with supreme celestial marking
worshipping together toward heavenly trekking
reproved from hypocrisy’s lurking.
Let’s reach-out with our friendship-touch venture
vanquishing selfishness of human nature
as well as arrogance upholding discrimination-posture
considering uniqueness exemplified by each culture
so that genuine unity will reign upon earnest charity-gesture.
*1John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
