The signs of hope,
The gifts of compassion
Do I uncover and expose as I should?
For Lent is a time of renewing and restoring,
What have I lost and what needs to be found?
How can I be one who is actively seeking and pursuing
As we begin the journey, the path to the Cross.
Is my Spirit open, my heart free?
Am I able to give, as well as ready and open to receive?
Can I look deep enough inside, to release my soul
To do the work that needs to be done to go deeper?
Are there parts of my heart that hardened and need softening?
Are there acts of compassion that require my stepping out from the safe coccoon?
Or are there indifferences I let seep into my soul and sit there awhile?
Or do I choose to grumble and complain instead of being part of the solution and the change?
The questions haunt me and cause me to wonder
As I sit in the holy darkness and move through
I am taken by the stillness and solitude God calls me to
He is breathing Hope into life, into the world
Revealing fresh possibility even in the dimess of this moment
For I need to look truthfully and uncover and undo and unearth
I am held by the deepness of being transformed and moved
Reveal. Restore. Renew. Refresh.
Walk with me Lord, Lead me to the Cross.
