Tutti
Do not just speak. Be what you want to say.
Make living out your life your message as
You sing along with others. Every day
Is meant to be a holy one that’s made of jazz
And other happy tunes or sad ones when
That inspiration comes. Keep ear to mirth
Or reverent blues. Do not just sing amen
And chord-like hallelujahs. Wider earth
Is calling for your actions, not just voice
And melodies. Your music might be hands
In action. With St. Francis you rejoice
In deeds. (With actions harmony expands.)
Run to do the good. With open arms fling
Wilder generosity. Make acts sing.
“Preach the gospel at all times and when necessary use words.”
~ St. Francis of Assisi
