"Simon Peter answered him, 'Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life.'" John 6:68
word of hope,walk with us in
these uncomfortable
and fraught with fear days.
word of grace,
when we would rather
stay under the covers
send us out to be you
to those who are lonely.
word of justice,
challenge us not
to remain silent but
to drown out the voices
of hate and anger
with passionate protests.
word of life,
come to us
come to us
so we may hear
your breaking heart,
then let us
go with you
to the death
which awaits you
even as you wait
your breaking heart,
then let us
go with you
to the death
which awaits you
even as you wait
to embrace us
beyond our death.
