Ash Wednesday to Pentecost
The Love You Showed
- The love You showed at Calvary is love here still today
Although the pain and history seem to be far away;
The trials of suburban life, of work and neighbourhood,
Hardly seem fitting subjects for the shedding of Your blood. - And yet behind the bland facade our turmoils are extreme,
Of how we can transform our lives to match the things we dream;
Of how we can resist the urge to cross the moral line
Or move the line itself because we hate it to confine. - But, most of all, we need Your love expressed in its wild grace
Because it lifts us up to being a moral, loving race;
And, as You gave Your human life that we might live in You,
Our love returned with all our heart is human and is true.
