Fallen but Encouraged

We come together
almost every week
with nothing but honesty
in admission we speak.
Flaws falling out
in words and action,
souls ashamed,
hiding in contraction,
all the fallen
and sinful together
encouraging each other
with reminders of forever.
Bouts with sin
shared by all,
we pick up each other
and together we call
on our Savior's name
who will always listen,
who amidst the dirt
allows the promise to glisten.
He guides us on
the path that's right
and points us back
to each other's sides
as we come together
here yet again
as fallen but encouraged
women and men.
