“And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness”
Colossians 3:14 (KJV)

Charity, love, all I feel
for hearts authentic
vulnerable still,
yet quiet not these humble hearts
they writhe in angst against
enemy darts

but i can see the crying lot
of those succumbed to dreadful spot
and compassion thrives in vulnerable cries
serve them! weeping, self-ness dies

for when i hear humility
it is not my eyes but my heart doeth see
and pray across waters and lines
i wrap all love around hearts that pine

so weep no more,
i’ve wept for two
they are compassionate tears
for me, for you

and quiet now
O vulnerable one
for God draws me nigh
led by His Son

compassionate roving
eyes of the Lord
bring his called
upon boats unmoored.

across the sea on waters still
your vulnerable heart!
cries out to be found
for i shall hear it! in love all bound.
