A definition of sin
of our conscious acts
separating us from God
from our fellow man
When the right is before us
and we do the wrong
when light would guide us
when we choose to harm
Opportunities from God
crossroads on our path
moments of choosing
where we could listen to him
The way before us
if we would conform our feet
answering God rightly
when he call, follow me
