As Christ loves - 2

Nothing so direct
no parable, no pretext
after Judas ran into the night
speaking to the disciples

A new command, commandment
spoken to them that night
in the upper room, prayerful
full of dread and fright

We are to love
not by the ancient law
to love our neighbors as ourselves
our God over all

More than this, much more
to love as Christ loves us
the lamb, the sacrifice
the living Son still within
abiding here with us
