# Beyond the logic
|
||
|
||
Beyond the logic of this world<br>
|
||
That sees no end to war and hate<br>
|
||
God's grace invites us on – from here!<br>
|
||
– and leads us in to life<br>
|
||
|
||
You knew what you would have to do<br>
|
||
the cross, alone, your mother's tears<br>
|
||
The depths of love laid bare – for us!<br>
|
||
– restoring all to God<br>
|
||
|
||
The blossom dusts our city streets<br>
|
||
drowned in the oil of our greed<br>
|
||
Creation sings its song – again!<br>
|
||
– eternally renewed<br>
|
||
|
||
Your justice seems a distant dream<br>
|
||
Your people scattered, torn apart<br>
|
||
Gift of your word set close – to us!<br>
|
||
– love written in our hearts<br>
|
||
|
||
Long shadows of despair and doubt<br>
|
||
Scatter my thoughts, distract my mind<br>
|
||
But hope in you, my Lord – my God!<br>
|
||
– grounds all my waking days<br>

Suggested tune: Woodworth (556iii in Singing the faith) - for the extended 2 beats, use the last 2 syllables of the third line.
