based on the choices of Christ


based on the choices of Jesus
in the upper room, in the garden,
before Pilate, the Sanhedrin
all the moments of Holy Week
we stand convicted, weak
we hear the words of scripture
a commandment to love as he loves
through the eyes of the disciples
through the one that he loved
we are convicted by the words
knowing our half-hearted faith
to love as he loved all of them,
as Christ loves us yet
