In the fog of our righteousness

Thinking we are better
judging our sister, our brother
believing our neighbor
is unworthy of God’s love

In the fog of our righteous
conforming to the law
forgetting Christ’s true teaching
the Spirit within our acts
our service to our neighbors

He is with us
at the table here, now
eating with us, the sinners,
those who are broken
needing his healing touch
needing him to transform us
to lift us from the dust
