What Is This I See
What is this I see?
A family of 30 so close as can be?
Between the ages of 13 and 18,
all huddled together in a sanctuary.
Listening to a man teach from a strange book in his hands.
He talks of a man who was hung on a cross to save all man.
I see this “family” at school
even though some are supposed to be “cool.”
They walk together,
they eat together,
they help each other,
and love one another.
This “family” stands out of the school crowd in such a weird way
that no one understands but feels rude to ask why it’s that way.
Walk through the halls you never see one that doesn’t smile
even though you don’t know they go the extra mile.
This so called “family” is a body of Christ
that so many can plain see.
This “family” may not be so unordinary to you
but look deeper into these hearts of many.
We love God and we show it daily.
