In this Season of Trial

An opportunity, a challenge
in this season of trial
Changing the world
and our response to one another
tragedy so real,
the pain, the loss palpable
so many people
crying out in their loss

Conforming, made ready
the low places lifted up
so we are called
the voices crying in that wilderness

To love our neighbors
no longer strangers
our brothers, our sisters
our children
crying out in pain

Lowering our high places
so their valleys may be exalted
shaving our mountains
that their rough places may be made plain

Together with God able
to reorder our priorities
to reach out, in his name
offering our hands, our feet
to lift the world up
