Having heard the lesson
who will be blessed
like the lawyer in the story
asking the Christ
how to live
Go and do likewise
like the first disciples
called to be the salt of the earth
the light from the highest heaven
Christ’s message to us
now as back then
in our time and place
to shine in this dark world
To lead by example
all of our days
our good works guiding
showing them the way
