Excellent Gossip has destroyed many ministries I'm Sorry, Pastor! by jim vecchio Spiritual writing prompt entry

I’M SORRY, Pastor! For lies I told that others have heard The Lord placed me in your flock For you to guide me to God’s Word I’M SORRY, Pastor! For The Lord gave you that Honor I should’ve remembered Anything with two heads is a monster I’M SORRY, Pastor! For, to have Faith, one must hear But to self and pride I lent an itchy ear I’M SORRY, Pastor! The Word of God IS true And I believed that word until I felt I knew more than you   I’M SORRY, Pastor! Instead of adulation I maligned your name Before the congregation I’M SORRY, Pastor! The warning of James I should have followed Instead my actions wrecked your work As if my tongue were super-powered I’M SORRY, Pastor! Your ministry here now is undone I should have recalled Christ’s words And the reason on the Cross He hung I’M SORRY, Pastor I will try to reach all people Reminding them at the very top of the Church Is the Pastor, not the steeple   Writing Prompt Write a poem of any type that is spiritual in nature. Author Notes Read The Epistle of James, Chapter 3, which warns of the power of the tongue.
