Jesu of the Desert

  1. Jesu of the desert
    Tempted and alone,
    Terrorised by Satan:
    Make bread from this stone:
    Goaded by my peers,
    Or alone in misery,
    Pity my temptations,
    Small though they may be.

  2. Jesu of the garden
    Left without a friend,
    Forced to travel lonely
    To the bitter end:
    Though my friends may alter
    And sometimes be untrue
    May I never falter
    In constancy to You.

  3. Jesu of the hilltop
    Crowned and crucified,
    Blood and water flowing
    From Your pierced side:
    May my resolution
    Grow more strong with prayer
    Yet never turn to comfort,
    Knowing You are there.

  4. Jesu of the journey
    To Emaus With Your friends,
    Breaking bread in witness
    That Your love never ends:
    Make our homes and bodies
    Fit for Your repose,
    Yours to do your bidding,
    Offer and dispose.

  5. Jesu of the mountain
    Rising to Heaven above,
    Promising the Spirit
    Born of boundless love:
    May we follow duly
    To Your journey's end,
    As Your humblest servants
    And Your dearest friends.
