“Show us mercy, Son
of David.” --Matthew 9:27
for we are blind
and do not know the way forward.
Show us mercy, Son of David
for darkness
envelops us today.
Show us mercy, Son of David
when we use
scripture to justify sin and excuse our callousness.
Show us mercy, Son of David
when our
blindness is so deep
that we call the
bad good
and the good
bad.
Show us mercy, Son of David
when we do not
see the log in our own eye.
Show us mercy, that we may learn mercy,
that we may love
mercy,
that we may show
mercy
to
the hungry and the hurting,
to
the sick and the homeless,
to the prisoner and the outcast,
to
the privileged and the proud.
Show us mercy, Son of David
until we become
mercy.
