Becoming Love

 _______________________

With eyes of faith I see—a Body, that can be

Connected, growing strong, where you—and I—belong.

As strengths, talents, and gifts align; offered humbly by God’s design.

No pride shall live in this place; no satisfaction in disgrace.

Something glorious can come. God’s Spirit, make us one!

Something wonderful, can you see? Word become flesh–Love inhabit me.

With a heavy heart, I say—we’ve not yet made our way.

Division still remains; differences act as chains

So I call out to you and me: Shall we settle for misery?

Lesser glory in this place? While God offers mighty grace?

Something glorious can come. God’s Spirit, make us one!

Something wonderful, can you feel? Word become flesh—Love become real.

With ears alert I hear—triumphant love appear;

God’s love lived one for another—as we—become; sister, brother

Where offenses can be viewed; and forgiveness is imbued

As we grow stronger—together; Emanuel—our tether.

Something glorious can come as God’s Spirit makes us one;

Something wonderful. Can you hear? Word become flesh; Love—appear.
