A Thought for Lent...

I haven't blogged for a while...sorry.

 

But as I visited a young person in jail this week I wondered again what I could bring, what they needed. And it made me think that what he needed was to...

Let Me See Christ

 

Let me see Christ

Reflected in your eyes

As they drink in

The beauty of your world.

 

Let me see goodness

As you take the things you feel

And change them into deeds

That show you care for all!

 

Let me see love

In the action of your hands

As they take a cause

That waits for truth to come.

 

And though I cannot read,

I will know the truth.

And though I cannot see

I will know a way to live.

 

Because you lived in a way

That spoke rain to my desert,

Peace to my Holy War,

Hope to my hopeless heart.

 

Let me see Christ,

Reflected in your eyes

As they drink in

The beauty of your world!
