Wendolene Warrior In Jesus
I
We make much of forgiveness; there's joy in receiving
Until I loved Wendolene, I had not been forgiven
Not in this way: I am able to believe Jesus, the Bible,
Moreso now, because I have received from Wendolene
Love AND GRACE. Siblings, love without grace is a shell!
II
Yes, I did not change; I still speak truth to power -
Even to all our children (blended family?) young, cocksure ...
Yet, pastoral-caregiver I am, I wait long before coming strong
With the Word of God, the Sword of the Spirit; equal as we are
Radical Equality before God as sinners (if you prefer, prone to error)
III
Yes, Wendolene showed her loyalty through highs and lows
If truth be told, her grown child needed a court interdict, Protection!
We stood for the right: to teach limits, respect others' rights also
She loves the LORD Jesus. Finally, I can pray as family, Unison
Not perfect, either, but strong in the armor of God, daily in His Word
