into our locked hearts



Afraid liked the first disciples
seemingly alone in the world
yet Christ here to comfort
to assure us of a future
to call us to better things
the better angels of our nature
to serve, to share
the love we are given

Christ entering in
the Spirit, the Savior
the love of God manifest
coming to each one of us
erstwhile disciples
into our locked hearts
to heal and to save us

Appearing to each of us
he who was raised from the dead
Christ stands with us
we who have run away
who have denied him
with us as he had promised
before his climbed the cross
became our sacrifice
