one hour on Sunday – v2

we seek an inoculation
a booster shot
a weekly prescription
an hour on Sunday
to stanch the bleeding
to heal our hearts

But we carry an incurable disease
the sin of our being
that which we commit
our estrangement from God
the distance we create
in the choices we make

we need a solution
a permanent replacement
given new life, new life
when we put on Jesus
when we let go of the past
and put on the Christ
