Leader: It seems that all our bridges have been burned
All: We have loved half-heartedly, wounded intentionally,
and lived self indulgently. We have rejected, despised,
ruled over and dominated. We have closed our eyes and
pretended we don’t see our common humanity in the eyes
of others. (Silence)
Leader: But then a word quickens our heart- grace.
All: When we reach in, you reach out.
You love fully, heal tenderly,
embrace openly, and restore completely
Leader: Could it be true?
All: Still far away, we strain our eyes to see
That which awaits us.
Grace to envelop us,
to hold us,
and to welcome us home.
