The Body of Christ
broken and shared
for you, for me and for all.
The Body of Christ
broken and fragmented
hurting and grieving.
The Body of Christ
215 names we don’t know
families left broken.
The Body of Christ
bombed out again
broken hearts and pieces.
The Body of Christ
tired and broken
pandemic stricken.
The Body of Christ
left alone because I’m different
broken in my inflicted shame.
The Body of Christ
two sides of a country
broken by false promises.
The Body of Christ
stolen and held captive
broken homes left in tatters.
The Body of Christ
on foot across many miles
broken in the search of freedom.

discriminated because of color
dignity robbed, broken by force.
The Body of Christ
deforested and polluted
our sister Earth so broken.
The Body of Christ
you and me
us and them.
The Body of Christ
gift for all people
healing and remedy.
The Body of Christ
hope never ceases
rising up from the ashes.
The Body of Christ
stronger than our despair
feast for the hungry.
The Body of Christ
source of all goodness
holy and worthy.
The Body of Christ
balm for our heartaches
ointment for our wounds.
The Body of Christ
many shades of holy diversity
a refuge and a shelter.
The Body of Christ
here and now
back then, in steps ahead.
The Body of Christ
love is present
even if unseen.
The Body of Christ
our brother and savior
with us in our brokenness.
The Body of Christ
broken and shared
for you, for me and for all.
