Vicarious ... Congregation

Today’s word is “vicarious” ... felt or enjoyed through imagined participation in the experience of others. (Dictionary.com)

Congregation

Watching worship on YouTube,

Trying to be a vicarious part,

Hearing the messages music brings,

To lonely, desperate hearts.


The preacher speaks to empty chairs,

The band’s cloistered in a corner,

The people on line imagine each other,

As they were in days that were former.


But the Spirit is not limited,

He weaves around and through,

Working on those discouraged hearts,

Changing and making them new.
