Walk Your Way

Jesus the disturberYou were impatient with the status quoand defiantly refused to accept the way things were.You dreamed dreams of justiceand created streams of righteousness.Your way of life was shocking,amazing, challenging.

Jesus we must walk your wayStrengthen us to be a prophetic community.

Jesus the liberatorwho crossed bridges and broke down barriers;who found words for the voicelessand room for the outcasts;who gave dignity and value to those who hadno reputation and no name.The whole creation longs to sing in harmony.

Jesus we must walk your wayTeach us to be an inclusive community

Jesus the loverwho embraced the world with compassionand touched lives with healing;who dared to offer forgivenessand worked to bring reconciliation,who showed the things that make for peacewith God,with one anotherand with ourselves.
