The body of Christ

We become one in You

Brother and sister to all who believe

 

Yet like all siblings

Tensions arise between

The closest of knits

 

It seems the deepest hurt

Comes from within the body

A whole wounded in uncertainty

 

The grip loosens, leaving space

Distance looks greater between us

When we should draw to You as groom

 

Only You can restore

The error in human bonds

To heal Your body

 

Keep us close

Don’t let us fall apart

Like marriages not molded after You
