If God is Love
And Christ is God
His many hands still wash
Sore feet, unshod

If God is Joy
And Christ is God
His laugh is heaven’s mirth
From lips of sod

If Christ is God
And God is care
His faces everywhere
His cheer will share

If Christ is God
And God is Peace
The Gospel’s leaves bestow
His “yoke of ease”

If Christians are
Christ’s flesh and blood
His love is never far

To fuse fresh scars…

And hearts confused or crushed or lost

To flood
