into our locked minds



Afraid liked they were
wandering, running, cloistered
seemingly alone in the world
yet Christ here to comfort
to assure us of a future
the better angels of our nature
to serve, to share, the bear his light
the love we are given

Christ knocking,
enters in if we let him
the Spirit, the Savior
the love of God manifest
coming to each one of us
erstwhile disciples
into our locked minds
to heal and to change us

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