Distant Friends With Common Ground

DISTANT FRIENDS WITH

COMMON GROUND

By: Tyararr J. Jones

How do I know you, for I have rarely seen your face?

We have scarcely ever communicated while living in the same place.

What is it that draws us to share the ponderings of our heart,

For we dwell on different ground and we are many miles apart?

The roads that we travel lead to the same glorious end,

Led by the same loving Master, upon whom we must faithfully depend.

Have we met at the same altar while kneeling daily to pray,

Asking for constant strength, to victoriously make it through the day.

Our fellowship is distant, but our hearts are bound as one,

Brought together in righteous harmony by Jesus Christ the Son.

The common bond we hold is secured permanently in the Cross,

A reminder of the hope we have when frustrated and suffering loss.

The fellowship of believers can be fruitful in its treasure,

Another gift from God as a daily simple pleasure.

Remember the sweet fellowship of those whom you can depend,

Priceless jewels upon this journey until we reach our end.
