The Saint
by Judith Vander Wege
A saint is a sinner saved by grace,
salvaged, made worthy to see God's face.
Serving the Lord with a song in her heart,
this steward is faithfully doing her part.
Sometimes a saint will suffer alone,
even rejected by those in his home.
But God has acquitted, adopted this one.
So life is abundant, assured by the Son.
In Christ she abides, invited to stay.
The Lord intercedes for him each day.
Indwelt by the Spirit, reflecting His image,
Saint gains an inheritance kept for his lineage.
No other name could be so adored
as Jesus Christ's name, for He is the LORD!
Neighbors are loved, and God supplies needs.
Thankful saint worships the Lord as He leads.
Tasting God's goodness, thirsting for more,
Saint trains his children to enter life's Door.
Using her talents, she tells of God's deeds
and trusts in God's triumphs, planting His seeds.
