A Poem - The Pastor's Confession

Standing at the altar,
Supper ahead,
Font behind,
I gave over the
Veiled Eucharist
At the golden cross,
Seeing in its polished surface
My reflection
Speaking my confession.
I see my lips move
On the cross;
My sins sent upon
The One who died
On THE Cross.
My eyes see the sinner
Standing in the cross;
Standing at the altar,
Supper ahead,
Font behind.
And in this line
I turn to face
The congregation.
"In the stead and by the command of Christ ...."
Cross
Supper
Pastor
Font
Forgiveness for you.
