in the midst of love and life;
God is in our haste and hurry,
in our peace and through our strife.
At the crux of every crisis,
with the wounded and bereft,
Christ is crucified, derided,
knows our punishment and stress.
This is God, incarnate, with us,
and with ones we would despise,
welcoming both saint and sinner,
looks beyond our flaws and lies.
Verses 4-5 follow
