Words of history, of power
his words reminding us
of the work to be done,
needs yet unmet, vision and calling
unfulfilled still in the congregation
the goals set but the feet still marching
marching in place, waiting for the start
for the challenge, the task at hand
to seize the initiative, needing more
leaders, visionaries who can implement
guide, cajole, prod, pull the more reluctant
do good work now in our community
move out beyond our walls, see the
thing to be done and do it
