Suffering Servant who walks among us
Wonderful is your name.
Spread your eternal balm of love
For the grief
That so many are absent.
Let us beat swords into plowshares
In obedience to the love
That flows from the devotion binding
Creator, Word, and Comforter
Into One.
Care for those we cannot touch,
And share your bounty with them
And with us.
Blood drips from our hands,
Blood of the guilty
Mingled with
Blood of the innocent.
Forgive us
As we forgive those who shed our blood
So that there may be peace.
Deafen our ears to the trumpet call of power.
Quench our thirst for revenge
So that we may be close to you.
For yours is the embrace,
The solace, and the love.
That endures forever.
