Crying Out Loud

faith as unfashionable,
a crutch for the weak,
outmoded, obsolete,
outrageous belief.
Far easier to worship the earth
or each other
or nothing at all
rather than exalt the
Living God Everlasting.
His name no longer spoken
at school or work,
mentioned one hour a week
by some,
forgotten by most.
Sing of His glory
out of joy and from deep gratitude.
Sincerely imperfect,
we must not be silenced
while we have tongues.
If we do not shout out loud,
nor spread branches at His feet,
if we worry what others might think,
the stones will cry out
and not stop, as they know
He weeps at our silence.
