Wednesday Riff: In a World-Changing Week

In a world-changing week,
Unafraid of humility and kindness,
The king rides in, looking small and vulnerable,
Coming so close, to see us and know us.

In a world-changing week,
Unafraid of humility and kindness,
The king gets his hands dirty, doing the job of a servant,
He kneels in the dirt and washes our battered feet.

In a world-changing week,
Unafraid of humility and kindness,
The king steps into the sad temples we build,
Tipping over the tables of our misplaced ambitions and hopes.

In a world-changing week,
Unafraid of humility and kindness,
The king volunteers and takes another’s place,
Offers himself, for one and for all.

In a world-changing week,
Unafraid of humility and kindness,
The king refuses to lie still in a stone-cold tomb,
Dead yes, but then stirring once more,
Breaking death’s dark conventions,
Battering down that door.

In a world-changing week,
Unafraid of humility and kindness,
The king waits to be seen, in a garden, on a road, by the shore,
Waiting still, for that pause in our busy lives,
For that moment of truth, when the stone rolls from our eyes,
And resurrection wakes us one more.

If you've appreciated this, why not...
