i wonder

I wonder
If the Church took
All the time
All the money
All the energy
All the thought and planning
All the personnel
That went into the preparation
Of a single Sunday morning service
And invested it in their community by
Helping the poor
Encouraging the weary
Lifting up the fallen
Binding the wounds
And supporting the weak
What incredible things would happen
And what impact would result for the fulfilling of our mission.

It would mean a more simple way
Of doing church
But a more real and meaningful way
Of being the church
And I can’t help but think
It would not only be more of what Jesus intended it to be
But would be more attractive to it’s neighbours.
