learning to fly

regarding gifts
if you happen to be an old pro
one that knows the ropes
the do's and don'ts
show a little grace
for those just stepping into the arena
of ministry and service
show a little grace
to those who seem to not know
as much as you
who think you do
the ones that seem to be
not as in touch
with God as you
show a little grace
and make some room
like God showed you
when you were new
allow them to do it wrong
until they hear things right
like God let you
let them fumble
without stepping in
without closing ranks so soon
excluding
just so you
make sure it's done right
learn to release those
let them learn
gain confidence
release your control
let God take it instead
maybe the elders shouldn't be doing it all
maybe the elders should be raising others up
instead
raise others up
increase the ranks
of seasoned warriors
show some grace
show some faith
show leadership
show humility
be a mentor
be a brother
