older poems (1991) "...From the World (James 1:27)"



“. . . From the world (James 1:27)”
cji 14 July 1991
Our hands touched
as raged the storm
an unrest caressed
our troubled land
yet peace was felt;
Our hands touched
as ravaged were others
by disease and famine
across our troubled land
yet peace was felt;
Our hands touched
as wars were fought
and rumors of discontent
filled our troubled land
yet peace was felt;
Our hands touched
as we joined in compassionate service
as we administered to the sick
as we comforted the widow
as we honored our priesthood
and eternal peace was felt
throughout our land
unspotted from the world . . .!
