# 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
|
