Today... 'The Amen' Poem by Roy Allen

We end our prayers by saying Amen.
It is our hearts response again and again.
You are the answer to all that we bring to God
for the life of prayer was the path You trod.

'Amen. So let it be' our spirit cries as we rejoice.
Speak Lord for today we need to hear Your voice
and obey the commands we see in the Book of Life
keeping close to You avoiding schisms and strife.

Oh Faithful and True Witness from heaven above.
Ruler of God's creative work and Lord of love.
We hear Your voice speaking to the church Oh Lord
and submit to the command of The Great Amen of God.
