I Will

~Raymond A. Foss

Not the fleeting, fashionable

cute and cuddly – I Do.

No, this isn’t the thing we’re talking about

I Will.

Power of God, commitment continuing

Covenant people responding in-kind.

The God of Creation offered Himself

in sacrifice and in Communion

A perpetual relationship,

Loving, nurturing

All we have to do

Is answer His –

I Will –

with our own –

I will.

It is an invitation of grace

first held out for Abraham

now open to all nations

through Jesus Christ,

our Lord and Savior

I will;

Will you?
