+# Beyond the logic
+
+Beyond the logic of this world
+That sees no end to war and hate
+God's grace invites us on -- from here!
+-- and leads us in to life
+
+You knew what you would have to do
+the cross, alone, your mother's tears
+The depths of love laid bare -- for us!
+-- restoring all to God
+
+The blossom dusts our city streets
+drowned in the oil of our greed
+Creation sings its song -- again!
+-- eternally renewed
+
+Your justice seems a distant dream
+Your people scattered, torn apart
+Gift of your word set close -- to us!
+-- love written in our hearts
+
+Long shadows of despair and doubt
+Scatter my thoughts, distract my mind
+But hope in you, my Lord -- my God!
+-- grounds all my waking days
+
+Metre: 88 86
+Suggested tune: Woodworth (556iii in Singing the faith) - for the extended 2 beats, use the last 2 syllables of the third line.
