Maybe we're completely naive.
Maybe we're fools for even entertaining the thought.
Maybe we're too ignorant of all the issues
and how deep they actually run.
The thing is the skeptics will never tire of their own voice,
and we're not always going to get it right;
we are going to stumble time and time again.
But call me a fool, the poor will be with us always,
humanity will always be broken,
there'll always be the man without a home,
the widow who suffers alone,
there will always be another slave to free,
another orphan to come alongside,
and another conflict to end.
The fact is, injustice will raise it's ugly head
time and time again.
And the cruel unpredictability of circumstance
will remain around every corner of life.
There's a sleeping giant beginning to stir;
a people awakening to real love,
and who are starting to walk in it.
Our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ,
we're moving beyond our differences,
laying down our egos, casting aside our logos,
rising up with hearts as one, our value nailed to a cross;
that we would find value
in the broken, in the hurting and in the lost.
lf this is foolishness, then let us embrace it.
Let us fight against the monster of apathy and indifference.
Let the seduction of comfort and convenience
and conformity be dead and buried,
and let us go to war against injustice and oppression.
Let our faith and our hope and our love unite us,
and may the story of our lives, in all things,
reflect the wonder and grace of Jesus' Name.
Amen.
