# 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>
