DISTRIBUTION

Doris A. Lewis

As Spirit's witnesses we keepThe Lord's command to feed his sheep,Distributing God's boundless wealthThrough our reflection of true health,Expressing Love and Truth each dayTo weary ones who pass our way,Imparting hope and joy and peace,Which bring to heavy hearts release;In selfless living we fulfillThe doing of our Father's will.
