I CAN STAND QUITE TALL HERE
A steward in my church
I read sacred Scripture
standing at the ambo,
the Holy Book opened
to Testaments Old and New.
I can stand quite tall here.
Moses asks God, “Me, Lord?”
At my side a cane helps
keep me upright, balanced,
glad to be alive and
blessed to read the Bible.
Jesus speaks out, “Follow Me”
and I nod my head.
Sometimes the words cause me
to choke back tears. The thought
of speaking His words,
the words of patriarchs,
of saints, of unbelievers—
I intensify my prayers
that more hearts will open
to the God Who died for us.
