Beautiful words for this Good Friday from my friend Beth Barnett
a man who doubts
a man who cries
a man who shouts
in desperation to the skies
a man
who dies
this is our Goda world at war
a world that groans
a world in pain
a world alone
a world
without a home
this is God’s worldsee him naked
sore abused
despised rejected
justice refused
look at him now
is this God’s face?
this is our God
this is God’s gracemy heart so black
my heart that’s worn
my heart so bleak
my heart forlorn
and yet
a soul reborn
this is God’s grace
