A Feast of Worship – v3

The pastor, in the makeshift pulpit

at the lectern, far from the vaulted ceilings,

far from the stain glassed sanctuary

but that didn’t stop him, his joy overflowing

Speaking effusively, lovingly of time set apart

of vacation from work; but going on Sundays

A feast of worship, in a distant place

away from daily duty, cares of his own flock

when he could allow the Word, in worship

to rain down on him in a banquet, a feast of worship

drinking in the living water in many churches,

being fed, being nurtured, breathing in what he needed,

many traditions in a single weekend

Able to immerse himself in the healing,

the grace of the time in fellowship,

communion with the saints

gathered in worship

rich and ever new
