Lenten poem...


 
O God, who makes all things new,
 
new stars, new dust, new life;
 
take my heart,
 
every hardened edge and measured beat,
 
and create something new in me.
 
I need your newness, God,
 
the rough parts of me made smooth;
 
the stagnant, stirred;
 
the stuck, freed;
 
the unkind, forgiven.
 
And then, by the power of your Spirit,
 
I need to be turned toward Love again. Amen.
