If God Does Not

If God does not weep,

then there is no love deep enough

to touch the pain.

Pause

If God does not get close,

then there is no love real enough

to meet our brokeness

Pause

If God does not touch,

then there is no love earthy enough

to value our humanness.

Pause

If God does not need compassion,

then there is no love tender enough

to endure our pain.

Pause

If God does not walk on,

then there is no love restless enough
to witness the truth.
Pause
If God is not anointed,
then there is no love ready enough
to diePause
If God does not know pain,
then there is no love broken enough
to comfort our world.

If God does not know death,

then there is no love potent enough
to bring resurrection.
