a nation at the flashpoint
in sectarian factions
rage and anxiety, hate and fear
caught in the maelstrom
in the chaos of this moment;
we need peace, calm within us
in the swirling transition
needing the light of Jesus
within the quickening storm
a nation at the flashpoint
the furnace of scripture
the winnowing of the harrow
the crucible of these times
testing faith here below;
we need to cleave to God’s promise
to our calling, our commission
to ignore the storms around us
to remain focused on our goals
