WHAT'S FAIR

Meaning in Psalm 133

Alfred D. Byrd

LIVING together justly in peace
Is what God wants the children to do.
To think as one, to sing with one voice,
And to do as one what's fair and pure
Is to bring to life the love of God.
That love is like the dew that settles,
Making things green in the cool of dawn,
On lives awaiting the light of day.
That love is like anointing from God —
Like oil of olives falling on one
Who stands before the altar to be
A bridge between a sinner and God.
A life that's free from shame is offered,
Taking the place of lives gone astray.
The blessing of God removes our sin
And makes us able to live in joy
A life restored to God in wholeness.
Any who takes what's offered receives
The life eternal that runs in God.
